How to Travel with Prescription Glasses

Introduction

Travelling is exciting, but it's easy to overlook the importance of looking after your prescription glasses while you're away. A little preparation can help prevent damage, keep your vision clear and ensure your glasses are always close to hand.

Pack a protective case

Always carry your glasses in a sturdy protective case when they're not being worn.

Whether you're travelling by car, train or plane, a hard case offers the best protection against accidental knocks and pressure inside your luggage.

Take a spare pair

If possible, travel with a second pair of prescription glasses.

Having a backup means you'll still have clear vision if your main pair is misplaced or accidentally damaged during your trip.

Keep them in your hand luggage

If you're flying, avoid packing your glasses in checked baggage.

Keeping them in your hand luggage ensures they're easily accessible and reduces the risk of damage or loss.

Bring a cleaning cloth

Dust, fingerprints and smudges are common when travelling.

A clean microfibre cloth takes up very little space and helps keep your lenses clear wherever you are.

Avoid leaving them in extreme heat

Never leave your glasses on a hot car dashboard or anywhere exposed to prolonged direct sunlight.

Excessive heat can affect both the frame and the lenses.
