1 Prevent Glasses From Fogging Up
Hot air rising from your breath can fog up your glasses, obscuring your vision. This is a common problem for glasses wearers, but it can be easily solved with a clean cloth and some soap.

Instructions: Apply soap to the inside and outside of the lenses and then wipe them clean with a dry cloth.
2 Keep Glasses From Sliding Down Your Nose
Even with the small pads on the nose bridge, glasses can still slide down your nose, causing annoyance and the need to constantly push them up. This can be easily remedied with a few rubber bands—would you believe it?
Keep Glasses in Place
Instructions: Wrap two rubber bands around each side of the temple arms, positioning them about two-thirds of the way down from the lenses.
3 Cover Small Scratches on Lenses
Over time, lenses may develop small scratches. Before rushing to buy a new pair, try this simple fix.

Instructions: Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratch and gently rub it in. Then, use a soft cloth to wipe away the toothpaste.
4 Find Your Glasses in the Dark
Coat your glasses with a thin layer of fluorescent paint. This will cause the frames to glow in the dark, making it easier than ever to locate your glasses.

5 Don’t Clean Your Glasses With Your Shirt
To avoid scratching your lenses, it’s best to use a microfiber cloth designed for glasses, like the one provided when you purchased your glasses, or a soft, smooth cloth.
If you clean your glasses with your shirt, you may scratch the lenses, making it harder to see and forcing your eyes to work harder. This can lead to eye strain and, over time, an increase in nearsightedness.

6 Use Your Phone as a Substitute for Glasses
In an emergency, if you haven’t found your glasses yet, you can use your phone’s camera as a temporary solution. If you hold objects very close to the camera, you may be able to see them more clearly.
Keep in mind that this tip only works if you already have your phone in hand.

8 Use Tape to Prevent Foggy Glasses When Wearing a Face Mask
For those who are nearsighted, wearing a face mask can cause glasses to fog up due to condensation. This solution, recommended by doctors, can help prevent fogging and moisture buildup.
Use about 10-15cm of medical tape to secure the top edge of the mask close to your nose and eyes. Then, press the tape firmly against your skin to ensure a tight seal.
Note: This method works best with medical tape, as other types of tape may not adhere as well and can easily come loose with movement. Even if you need to remove the tape, medical tape maintains its adhesion well.

This is a common mistake made by many office workers, but it’s not a good habit. Over time, doing this can cause the frames to become misshapen and loose, leading to your glasses falling off when you wear them.
When you don’t need your glasses for a while, it’s best to take them off and set them aside.

11 Quickly Fix Your Glasses
If your glasses are missing a screw, use a toothpick as a temporary replacement. Insert the toothpick into the hinge where the temple arm connects to the lens, and then break off any excess wood.
You can use any small, thin object that fits instead of a toothpick.
Note: This method may not work for all types of glasses frames.

12 Adjust Tight or Loose Glasses
If your glasses are too tight or loose, soak the frames in hot water for a few minutes to soften them. Then, bend the frames to fit your face.
Adjust Glasses Frames
Note: If you’re not handy, it’s best to have your glasses adjusted by a technician at the place of purchase to avoid any damage.
