misplaced my glasses

catter70 — Sun, 08 May 2022 09:23:01 GMT

I've misplaced my glasses. I have my cheaters for reading, but these are progressives which I've never gotten used to but use for distance so I can read the guide on the TV. I just don't know where else to look. Have even asked St. Anthony to help me find them. Don't want to pay out more money for another pair as these were a couple hundred $$$.

Try to remember the frame of the glasses. Color. I once layed black frames on top of a black cord, and probably walked by mine many times in the day I tried to find mine.

I once zipped keys in a pocket of a purse. So check zippered areas too. By a fluke of touching the inside of the purse, found them.

Hope you find them soon. It's maddening.

@qualitygal , I actually just now found them after looking all over last night up until just now. I think the cat knocked them off the bed and they fell between the end of the bed and dresser. You know the old saying, it's the last place you look. Thanks, everyone for your suggestions.

@catter70 .............When I was young and saw mature ladies with their glasses on a cord around their neck I thought it was so ugly and I would NEVER do that. Well, lo and behold guess who wears that now? It does save me from losing my glasses a lot but I still take them off, lay them down somewhere and have to go on the hunt.

Im glad you founds yours.

@catter70

Once you look in all the usual places, try looking around those places for glasses that could have slipped off the surface and fallen under or behind something.

When you find them, you can come over here and help me find where I hid a last minute watch purchase that I decided I didn't want to take to FL for the winter! It is still in the box and I can't register it for the warranty because I don't have the #'s.

I am slowly taking apart my bedroom, my office, the bathroom, etc !

Glad you found them!! Since I have a cat, when I am looking for someting, I always get down on the floor. Looking from his level does work! LOL

Years ago, I learned the hard way after our dog, a lab, chewed my MIL's glasses during the night. I now use a glass case and also gave my daughter one to use, since she has two labs!

I have a friend who is quite a gardener, so she spent months scouring the dirt and grass for her missing specs. She eventually found them in the case in the drawer where they belonged.

True confession time 😵‍💫

Used to keep my old pair in the glove compartment for emergency use.

But kept the even older pair in the dresser for help finding the missing new pair.

About that old saying "You always find them in the last place you look?" That's because you don't need to look anymore.

@catter70 My advice it to look on top of every single counter surface, night table, console table, table top, dresser top, desk top, etc. Perhaps even on top of the washer or dryer. Then, look for them on your bedding, as perhaps you took them off to take a nap and forgot about them. Or, perhaps in a handbag when you switched them out to sunglasses. Perhaps they even fell off of a table onto the floor. Don't give up. They are somewhere. Good luck!

Look under the chair where you usually sit. That's where I found mine.

Your progressives should have a lens portion for close-up reading as well as a portion for distance vision. Apparently yours aren't working for you. Perhaps its time for an eye exam, a new prescription and new glasses?

@catter70 - Just read that you found them. I had a feeling they could have been knocked to the floor. Sometimes mine fall off of my nighttable if I do not place them in the center of the table, as I am tired when I go to bed at night.

Just to preclude the next time this happens ( there will be a next time!) buy a backup pair. I buy all my family's glasses from Zennioptical dot com. They are attractive, well made and cheap. We recently bought a pair for DH that were $67 for stylish progressives including the frames. Turn around time was about the same as from my B&M provider.

@catter70 I'm glad you found your glasses. St. Anthony has always come through for me, even if it is not immediately.

My readers have a habit of falling UNDER my bed.

Now, how do they manage to fall off my night side table and end up UNDER my bed?

Thick carpeting, so they don't 'slide away'.

Nothing like hanging upside down from my bed, trying to see them, with a flashlight.

By the way, what about prescription readers and eye glasses being equipped with a micro-chip? Maybe connected to our I phones or whatever phones.

@catter70 I saw your newest post that you found your glasses.

(At least they were not on top of your head-where I have found mine before.

Don't judge me. LOL )

I am the same way-I have a few pairs of ICU readers because I could never get used to the reading lenses on my bifocal prescription glasses; I, too, need the distance lenses for TV and driving.

I cannot handle progressives.
