Come si fa a non a non perdere gli occhiali

Metteteli sempre nello stesso posto. Usate una custodia. E se li indossate spesso, aggiungete un laccetto legato alle stanghette.

How to recycle glasses
Sulla base di alcune indagini statistiche, il 52 per cento degli italiani confessa di aver perso almeno una volta gli occhiali. Si tratta di uno degli oggetti più smarriti in assoluto, anche per semplici disattenzioni, che si possono evitare con un minimo di metodo. A partire da una mossa preliminare: riporre gli occhiali, nella borsa o anche in casa, sempre nello  stesso posto, quando non li utilizziamo, infilandoli in un’apposita custodia.  
  • Choose a permanent positionWhen you take them off, always put them down and keep them in the same place (bedside table, desk, entryway, etc.). The same goes for work: always put them on the desk, in the same corner. And when you carry them in your pocket, choose the right or left one and don't swap them.
  • Use a caseIf you're not wearing them, put them directly in the case instead of leaving them on tables or sofas. The case serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it allows you to better preserve your glasses, reducing the chances of them getting scratched; on the other, it helps you avoid forgetting them. This applies to both reading glasses and those we use for distance vision.
  • Use a lanyard, cord, or chain: particularly useful if you take them off and put them back on frequently throughout the day. With one particular precaution: the strap or chain must be securely attached to the arms of the glasses, otherwise you risk losing them.
  • Avoid unusual surfacesMany glasses "disappear" because they're temporarily left in unusual places, like the bed, the car seat, or a different pocket than usual. A classic example is the glasses we use to watch TV, which we leave around the house. Instead, they should stay in a case, near the television, and always in the same place.
  • Always check before you get up: from restaurants, offices, trains, or waiting rooms. This is a crucial trick: if you rush things, you're very likely to forget your glasses wherever you go, and it won't always be easy to remember where you could have left them and found them again.
  • Use a Bluetooth trackerThere are small trackers that can be attached to your glasses case and help you find it via smartphone. A technological choice if you often forget your glasses.
  • If you often look for them at homeDo a quick check: bedside table, bathroom, desk, kitchen, and pockets. They're usually in one of these places.
