Are There Any Travel Precautions for My Eyewear?

Yes, taking proper precautions when traveling with your eyewear can help protect your glasses from damage and ensure they stay in good condition. Here are a few essential tips from City Optics to keep your eyewear safe while you’re on the go:

1. Use a Protective Case
Always store your glasses in a sturdy, protective case when not in use. A hard-shell case is ideal for travel, as it can protect your eyewear from impact, scratches, and pressure in your luggage or bag.

2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Exposure to excessive heat or cold can warp your glasses or damage the lens coatings. Keep your eyewear out of direct sunlight and avoid leaving them in a hot car or exposed to freezing temperatures for long periods.

3. Bring a Cleaning Kit
Pack a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner in your travel bag. Dust, fingerprints, and smudges can accumulate on your lenses during travel, and using the right tools to clean them will help avoid scratches.

4. Carry a Spare Pair
It’s always a good idea to travel with a backup pair of glasses or prescription sunglasses, just in case your main pair gets lost or damaged.


Taking these precautions can help ensure your eyewear stays safe and in top condition while you travel. Ready for new glasses or a travel-friendly case? Click the Book Now button below to schedule an appointment at City Optics and explore our eyewear options today!
