It is recommended that all relevant information about why a person wears glasses is kept in a relevant place, such as their Health Action Plan.
It is advisable that where necessary maintenance of a person’s glasses is included in a person’s daily routine (such as regular cleaning after meals, or after activity such as sports, gardening etc.).
People with physical disabilities who wear glasses may need specific support with ensuring that glasses are comfortable and correctly positioned on their face – especially for people who may have head rests. Some people may have thick lenses – consider where people may be positioned by others in their wheelchair. Directly facing bright light or sunlight might be very uncomfortable and potentially sight threatening.
Taking care of glasses
You need to keep them clean, using a soft cloth.
You will need to lie them down so lenses aren't scratched.
Glasses and nose pads may need to be adjusted regularly to ensure they continue to fit.
Nose pads can get brown and mucky-looking and may need to be replaced.
Although there is no entitlement under the NHS to provide a spare pair of glasses if they become damaged, if an individual is reliant on glasses, it may be best to buy a spare pair as it will be distressing if there is long wait to have the main pair repaired.
Red Flags that Indicates You Need to See The Eye Doctor
The white of the eyes appearing red, bloodshot or sore
The white of the eye appearing yellow
In-growing eyelashes
Pupils (the round black part of the eye) seem mis-shapen or incomplete
Eyes which look 'milky', you may not be able to see the iris (the colour of the eye) or the pupils clearly
Eyes which appear to 'rove' or constantly flicker, move side to side or up and down and that this seems to be happening beyond the person’s control

They have medical reasons for your good. Not just looking good in them.good to see you
Due to presbyopia, I already require the use of reading glasses, it is very difficult for me to adapt, to the correct use of cleaning them and to keep them; I always return them to their original box.
Thats just right about that
