Did you know that it is when we don’t wear glasses that we are most likely to break them? This is because we often forget (especially) to keep our glasses in their case when we are at home, or because the case is not suitable. Finding the right glasses case is not an easy task, especially when there is such a wide choice! To make your glasses last longer and your search for a new case quick and successful, we recommend that you take note of the following features before choosing a new case.
Glasses case size
Choosing It is important to consider the size of your glasses. Frames from well-known brands often come with a custom-fitted, appropriately sized eyeglass case. The glasses case can be neither too big nor too small. Why?
If the glasses case is too small, the constant pressure can cause the glasses to deform over time. You can easily check whether the case is not too small by putting your glasses inside the case. If the glasses case does not close or closes with difficulty, it is too small.

Material for spectacle cases
Depending on your lifestyle, you can find spectacle cases in different materials.
A hard glasses case can be:
- Metal
- Plastic
- Aluminium
- Wooden
- Gold/silver
If you play extreme sports or travel, you’ll benefit from a waterproof, shockproof and dustproof goggle case made of hard material that doesn’t take up much space in your suitcase.
Soft glasses cases can be:
- Microfibres
- Leather
- Textile
If you work in an office, a small, discreet, business-style glasses case that fits in your jacket pocket would be ideal.
A well-chosen, tight and tidy spectacle case will not only protect your glasses from deformation, but will also help protect your lenses from scratches. It is therefore important to remember to keep your glasses in the case with the lenses facing downwards and to clean them only with a special glasses wipe. This is especially important when it comes to children’s spectacle frames, so letting your child choose the case they like will encourage them to take good care of their glasses so they last longer.
One last tip – to create a stylish look, match your glasses case to the colour of your frames, your handbag or your most worn clothes. Have fun searching for a glasses case you like!
