Top 10 places where glasses are misplaced

It happens to everyone – some every day, others perhaps only once a month: your glasses are no longer where you thought they were. Then you have to frantically search for them.

To help you find your glasses more quickly, we have compiled a list of the top 10 places where glasses are lost more frequently than usual

1st swimming pool

Swimming with goggles is not the most pleasant hobby: what if they fall into the water? They’ll get splashed anyway. Diving with them is impossible. The heat in the swimming pool or steam bath makes them tarnish. These are just some of the reasons why people with poor eyesight prefer to take their glasses off in public swimming pools. Many then turn to contact lenses – others put up with the poor vision and leave their glasses in the locker. However, lifeguards know that valuable glasses are not always stored safely in the locker. Due to many distractions – changing clothes, packing a bag, buying newspapers, inserting contact lenses, etc. – glasses are often placed on top of the locker and then forgotten.

2. when leaving

Looking good is very important on the dance floor – but seeing well is not a must. So before your glasses fall off while dancing, leave them at the table or in your companion’s bag. Risk of forgetting: high.

3. at the airport

You are at the airport. You wait around between cafés and wheeled suitcases until the board finally shows you which gate your flight departs from. You constantly take your glasses on and off. When the gate is finally displayed, you get up and set off. The glasses remain in place until you are sitting on the plane and finally realize it.

4. on the beach

Put your sunglasses on over your reading glasses? Doesn’t look good at all. That’s why the reading aid is taken off and stowed away somewhere. Where was that again? And is there something shiny in the sand at the back?

5. in the hotel

Before going out, you check the entire room again to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything. Of course, you’ve also checked under the bed twice. In the cab to the airport, however, you can’t shake the feeling that you’ve forgotten something…

6. in the cab

Congratulations if you made it out of the hotel with your glasses after all. But now the ultimate black hole for glasses is waiting for you: the cab. You never know what will really happen. In the end, however, you get out of the car, which drives on with your reading aid.

7. on the train

A long week at work is behind you and you’re taking the train to the countryside. Now rest your eyes a little (only briefly, of course). As this is not really relaxing with glasses, you take them off. Then you wake up just before your stop, rush out of the train and just watch them from outside through the train window as it drives away.

8. in the library

Losing your glasses in the library sounds like a joke? It happens more often than you might think. Admit it: it’s happened to you too.

9. bars and restaurants

While you are reading through the menu with your friends and choosing something you would like to eat today, someone suggests taking a photo. You take off your glasses and forget about them until you wake up without them the next morning.

10. at home

And finally, the top place to misplace your glasses: Home. Where else are there so many nooks and crannies where they could potentially hide? That’s right: nowhere!

Have you found your glasses again? Congratulations! So at least you can see well until the next time. But does the procedure repeat itself at regular intervals? Perhaps laser eye surgery would be the right thing for you? Never lose them again, never search again – let our specialists advise you. You can arrange a non-binding consultation appointment here. We look forward to hearing from you!
