Everyone With Glasses Needs To Know These 7 Essential Life Hacks

Nov 12, 2018

While many people wear glasses for a sense of fashion, others need glasses for practical purposes. Some people can't see objects that are nearby, while others have trouble seeing objects at great distances. Whatever the reason for wearing glasses, people generally share the same experience.

It is no secret that glasses can be annoying. From fogging up to easily breaking, glasses can be clumsy and expensive. Fortunately, it is pretty easy to fix these common nuisances. Here are seven hacks that you definitely need to know if you wear glasses.

This trick will eliminate the issue of foggy glasses for good. Take a bar of soap and rub it on both sides of your glasses. It is important to perform this step with soap that is relatively dry. After wiping the soap off, you'll never have to deal with fogging glasses again. You will have to reapply soap to the lenses every time they are scrubbed clean or rained on heavily.

No matter how well a pair of glasses fits, they always have a tendency to slide down the nose. The constant action of pushing glasses back up towards the eyes isn't only awkward, but it is also very annoying. Placing a dab of eyeshadow primer on the bridge of your nose is a great way to keep your glasses from sliding down.

Taking a shower is one of the most difficult daily habits to perform without glasses. Finding the right bottle can take minutes of squinting and attempting to read blurry labels. A great life hack is to place a rubber band around the shampoo bottle so you'll always know which bottle is which.

Everybody remembers the scenes in Scooby Doo when Velma is on her hand and knees searching for her glasses. Everybody has felt like this when fumbling around in the dark to find their glasses. Those days of searching are over. Simply apply a small strip of glow-in-the-dark tape on the brim or side of your glasses. They will be easy to find no matter how dark the room.

Glasses can get dirty very quickly. As the lenses are clear, any bit of dirt or grease can cause distortion. In order to continue seeing clearly, people need to keep their glasses as clean as possible. While cleaning solutions can cost a lot of money, there is a life hack for a DIY lens cleaner. Take a small bottle and add a few drops of dish soap, rubbing alcohol and water.

Toothpaste can be used for more than keeping those teeth pearly-white. In fact, toothpaste can help remove those pesky scratches in your lenses. Take a small amount of non-abrasive toothpaste and rub in circular motion over the scratches.

Glasses tend to become skewed over time. Using a table or other flat surface is a great way to determine how straight the glasses are.
