How to Stop Scratching Your Sunglasses in the Car
Scratched lenses are one of those things that sneak up on you.
One day they’re fine… the next day you’re looking through a haze wondering what happened.
Most of the time, it comes down to how you’re storing them in your car.
Why Sunglasses Get Scratched So Easily
It’s usually not one big moment—it’s small, repeated damage:
Sliding around in a center console
Rubbing against keys or loose items
Getting tossed lens-down on hard surfaces
3 Simple Ways to Prevent Scratches
1. Stop Free-Tossing Them
If you’re dropping your sunglasses wherever there’s space, scratches are inevitable.
Give them a consistent home.
2. Keep Them Lens-Up
This sounds simple, but it makes a big difference.
Most scratches come from lenses touching surfaces.
3. Use a Dedicated Storage Spot
The less your sunglasses move, the longer they last.
A fixed location—like your visor—keeps them:
Secure
Protected
Easy to grab without thinking
A Better Habit
Once you get in the habit of putting your sunglasses in the same spot every time, you’ll notice two things:
You stop losing them
They stay in way better condition
It’s a small change that saves you from replacing them way more often than you should. Protect your eyewear Investment.
