For some, losing their glasses or readers is a regular occurrence. It's easy to take them off and forget where you set them, leading to time spent searching or having to pay for a replacement. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to avoid losing your eyeglasses, saving you time and frustration. Here’s what you should start integrating into your routine.

How to Stop Misplacing Your Eyeglasses

1. Wear Them Around Your Neck

Get in a sturdy cord, chain, or lanyard that attaches to the eyeglass arms, and wear it around your neck. There are many stylish options available, and you can swap yours out to match any outfit. While it’s less effective than a chain, you can also tuck the glasses into your shirt collar to ensure they're always within reach when you need them.

2. Create a Designated Area

Setting your frames on the nearest surface is a common habit among eyeglass wearers. To stop yourself from leaving them in an unsuspecting place, establish a designated eyeglass spot at home, in the car, and at the office. Get in the habit of keeping your specs in the same place whenever you take them off. Forming this habit will make sure you always know where your glasses are.

3. Go Digital

If you’re outdoorsy, clip a small Bluetooth tracker to the arm of your prescription frames, readers, or sunglasses. This device will allow you to easily track your misplaced specs directly through a smartphone app. You’ll never lose your glasses on a hike or at the beach ever again.
