You’re not fully packed for vacation without your glasses. That means both your prescription glasses and sunglasses. For those of us who lack perfect vision, it would be a good idea to pack a backup just in case. And when you’re living the good life on the beach, big city, or wherever you’re finding adventure, it’s always nice to pack a variety of shades to fit your outfits, activities and moods. Not only that, but in the summertime, they are paramount to keeping your eyes protected from damaging UV rays on your retinas as well as the skin around your eyes to keep premature aging at bay.

So, what to do with all that eyewear? How do you keep them safe, sound and untangled among all your other things? To truly keep your glasses protected, you’ll definitely want to go with a hard case. If the ones that came with your eyewear are the studier type, you can definitely use them for traveling. If you need a hard case, here are some options to help you stay organized.
