Most people don’t know that most damages to glasses can be avoided. Whether they are for style, regular vision glasses or sunglasses they can last you for years to come without severe damages. You can prevent minor scratches, chipping and more.

Glasses Cases

This a must. Glasses cases come in a variety of style and materials. Hard cases are more durable and can withstand sudden impacts. Soft cases provide less protection but as ideal if you have minimal space in your purse or backpack. Soft cases are only good against scratch guarding.

Long Lens Cloth

Aside from cleaning lenses lens cloths can provide protection for you in a few circumstances. If you don’t have a glasses case or you forgot your case the next best thing is a lens cloth or any cloth material. Securely wrap your glasses in a cloth to provide some protection against impacts and possible scratches.

Keep them out of the Way

If you take off your glasses either place them in a case or put them out of the way. Many damages that happen to your glasses come from other people not being aware. To keep accidents from happening place your glasses in a secure place.
