For some, the idea of travelling the world with glasses can seem a little daunting. What if they get lost, damaged or broken? Or they might feel uncomfortable in the heat. All of these are common questions that glasses wearers consider before they hit the road, however, you probably don’t have to worry.
Believe it or not, if you’re a regular glasses wearer then travelling with your frames is much easier than you might think. As long as you take care of your eye health prior to heading abroad and you invest in a good, high-quality pair of glasses then you should be able to see as much of the world as possible, without worrying too much!
Here we’ll look at some helpful tips for travelling with glasses.
Invest in a good pair
Glasses aren’t just for helping you correct your vision, the right pair should complement your face and your overall look, just like the ones available here at EyeBuyDirect. When choosing any glasses, whether for travel, for work or to read and watch TV you should always invest in a high-quality pair of frames. Simply because they’ll last longer, be able to handle anything you can throw at them and they’ll make you look and feel good when you’re wearing them. It just makes sense.
Take an extra pair!
You know this is wise, as when you’re on the road, accidents happen – whether that’s leaving them behind in your hotel room or losing them in the ocean! So, bringing along a second pair to have in case of an emergency is ideal. You may never use them, but you’ll be certainly glad you packed them if you have a glasses-related mishap!
Keep them in a hard case
A bent pair of glasses is no good for anyone. So, keeping your frames safe in a hard case is the best solution. Even if you’re taking them off and placing them in your day bag for a moment, always use a hard case to keep them safe. That way if you drop your bag, someone stands on it or something inside your bag squashes them, they’ll be completely safe.
Have a copy of your prescription
When travelling with glasses, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. So, make sure you travel with a copy of your prescription. If you find yourself separated from your glasses or they’re unusable, you can order another high-quality pair as soon as possible.
