Forgetting your glasses can be quite the pain, can’t it? Although wearing glasses may not be new for you, a number of other factors in your life could make you quite forgetful especially with the number of other things you have to remember on a daily basis.
For the parents who are about to return to work following maternity leave, it can sometimes be difficult to simply pick up where you left off. One thing that may be able to help you with this can be remembering everything you need to make your working day as positive and productive as possible, which means not forgetting your glasses but instead remembering to take and wear, your glasses.
Choose frames you like
Sounds obvious but choosing frames that you actually like to wear can be one of the first steps. If you are not keen on your glasses, either due to the way they fit or how they look, you may be that much more likely to forget them, either by accident or on purpose.
Opting for some stylish frames from EyeBuyDirect can allow you to match your prescription needs with some sleek styles. This may also allow you to take the time to purchase a new case that can be slipped into your bag or briefcase before you leave the house.
Buy a second pair of glasses
Alternatively, you may find it easier to have a second pair of glasses purely for use within the workplace. There may be a number of items that you want to have on your desk, or in your cubicle, that make your working day a little bit simpler. A spare set of frames can be among these items which means forgetting your glasses will no longer be a problem.
You may, again, want to make sure that there is a suitable case for them to be stored in. If you need an eye exam get it as soon as possible. Once you have had another eye exam, you may then want to remember to switch out these frames for a set that hold your new prescription. If your eye needs have not changed, but you want to update your usual set, you could then use the older frames as your backup, work pair, thus saving you money.
Leave reminders
If you are prone to forgetting your glasses, leaving yourself notes can also be quite helpful so that you remember to wear your glasses. Even if you have a set at work, or have taken the case in your bag, you might still forget to put them on. This may especially be the case if this is your return to work after childbirth or illness, or even if the day is set to be quite stressful. There are several ways that you can leave yourself reminders. Post-it notes on your desk may be helpful. For a more modern take on this, you may want to utilise a sticky notes program on your computer itself. Otherwise, you could also set a reminder on your phone just before your working day begins.
Wearing your glasses at work if you need them is important. This may allow you to filter some of the blue light that enters your eyes, and even reduce any eye strain from continuous screen usage. Part of getting back into that working routine can be about taking responsibility for your needs throughout the working day, so why not start with your eyewear?
