Buying new glasses? Don't forget to bring your helmet

By dpa | 2 September 2019


BERLIN: The optician might seem like the least likely place to need to wear a helmet - but here's why it makes total sense to bring it along.

If you're there to pick up a new pair of glasses, then you'll want to make sure they're still a good fit when you are out on your bike, motorcycle or scooter.

That's why to make sure the new glasses fit well with your helmet and don't feel uncomfortable during longer trips, opticians say it's best to put on your helmet before buying them - especially if you intend on wearing them with a large helmet.

Opticians usually advise anyone riding a scooter and motorbike to get glasses with light and flexible frames and shatter-proof glass in case of accident.
