I take my glasses off when I come home, and I always place them in one of two spots — so lost eyeglasses aren’t a problem for me. If you’d like to develop a similar habit, it might help to use an eyeglass holder which serves as a visual “home” for the glasses. And there are many styles to choose from.
The Sacco glasses holder from tät-tat is a weighted fleece storage pouch, also available from the Guggenheim Store (two color options) and Ameico (six color choices).
If you’re into cute handmade items, GreyMatterGifts on Etsy has a number of animal-themed eyeglass holders.
For a totally different kind of eyeglasses stand, take a look at the 3D-printed ones from GeekTastic55, also on Etsy.
Another option is an eyeglass tray. This one comes from Michael Devine; it’s a laminated fabric tray using a Michael Devine fabric.
Docky provides yet another approach, allowing you to hang your glasses on a bookcase, a computer monitor, etc. Docky attaches with a strong adhesive tape; the website has a lot of information about how to install and remove a Docky. It’s available from Amazon as well as the Docky website.
What if you need a solution for your car? In an old blog post I mentioned the STOWnSee, but another option is the Bobino glasses clip, available from Bobino or Amazon.
Want even more ideas? See my eyeglasses organizing post on the Core77 website (although a few of those products are no longer available).
And if you can’t seem to put your eyeglasses away in a designated spot, check out the eyeglass tracking devices that organizer Julie Bestry wrote about. They won’t work with all frames (including the metal frames I have) but they just might work for you.
I've never heard of any products like this before! I usually just set my glasses down in the same place each time, but I like the idea of a way to protect them a bit more. The weighted fleece bags would be fairly simple to recreate with materials I have on hand. Thanks for the idea :)
ReplyDeleteI guess that's one advantage of being so near sighted that you can't function in your own home without your glasses - not much chance of loosing them. Unless you knock them off the bed stand, or where ever you put them, while sleeping.
