10 Life Hacks for People Who Wear Glasses
Getting about life with prescription glasses can sometimes be difficult if life doesn’t play in your favour. Fear not – we have the top 10 life hacks which should help you through on a day to day basis.
- Use warm and diluted soapy water to clean your glasses with. Submerge for a minute or so and give them a good wipe clean. Not only does it clean the lenses, but also gives the frame a good clean too. Some frames and lenses can be intolerant to alcohol-based cleaners.
- Hands are more useful than you think when it comes to your vision. If you are long-sighted, create a pinhole with your hand and look into the distance (without your glasses), everything should now become clearer than without the pinhole effect. Trust us – it works!
- Keep your lenses in tip-top condition by popping your glasses back in their protective case when not in use – you’ll get a lot more wear out of them this way.
- Find that your case is a little slippy? Pop them in your pocket a lot? Wrap an elastic band around your case – it gives just that extra grip.
- Lost your reading glasses? No worries! Near-sighted people can use their cameras on their phones to see clearer.
- Shampoo or conditioner? Which one is which! Pop an elastic band around either one of them and you’ll now be able to tell the difference whilst in the shower.
- Can’t find your glasses in the dark? Add some glow in the dark paint. Practical, but also fun to design.
- Need adjusting? Place your glasses on a flat surface to adjust the nose pads – you should now be able to keep checking them in relation to one another.
- Keep ‘em squeaky clean! Microfibre cloths are best for cleaning your glasses with. Keep them handy and wash them often.
