There are at least two reasons people might want an eyeglass organizing product. Number one: People who tend to misplace their glasses might be helped by having an obvious place where the glasses are supposed to go when not in use. Number two: People with multiple pairs of glasses (readers, sunglasses, and/or regular eyeglasses) could use a good way to store them so they're readily available.

Bushakan has products to help with both problems. There are single and double trays for those with a limited number of eyeglasses.

And for those with a larger collection, there are stands to hold either three or five pairs of glasses. The pocket on the bottom is especially large, so it's good for glasses with extra-large frames. All of these stands are made from FSC-certified hardwood and have a zero-VOC finish, which will appeal to environmentally conscious and chemically sensitive wearers.

Some people who misplace their glasses might prefer a tray that has a glasses shape, to provide a strong visual reminder of where the glasses are supposed to go. These holders from Texas Ceramics wisely come in two different shapes, to accommodate different frame styles. It has a one-inch tall rim, providing more protection than an open tray. (As someone with cats who like to paw at things, I can appreciate how that might help.)

Another variation on the tray design is this leather eyeglass holder from Dacasso. The front and back panels should ensure the glasses stay in place. One purchaser noted a key feature: It's weighted, and stays in place.

I often see eyeglass holders that are shaped like a head, with a prominent nose; the glasses perch above the nose. This holder from Matr Boomie is a nice variation, using the same general vertical storage approach without being cloyingly cute. It's a simple way to store a single pair of glasses while using just a small amount of surface space on a desk, dresser, etc.

The glasses place from M. Scoop doesn't use a notch to hold the glasses in place; they just slide down over the rod. There's a stainless steel base to provide more stability than you'd get with just the wood. However, given the shape and size—it's just a smidgen over 4 inches tall—it will probably work best with glasses similar to the ones in the photo, rather than some of the larger styles.

The OptaCaddy is another simple way to store a pair of eyeglasses. Unlike some other products with a similar design, this one is not lined with any kind of fleece or cloth fabric; Jerry Mende of OptaCaddy says such linings can be hard to keep clean, and they can scratch the lenses. The OptaCaddy is acrylic and easy to clean—and if you place one earpiece over the outside of the caddy, the lenses will never touch the inside of it.

The OYObox luxury eyewear organizer is a lovely design for someone with many pairs of glasses. It lets the wearer see the entire collection, while keeping the glasses protected—and it doesn't take up a huge amount of space. The company says the box will accommodate anything from small reading glasses to large sunglasses. Another feature: That top window is shatterproof. The price will eliminate many buyers, but the OYOBox would work well for those who have an expensive and extensive collection of glasses.

Another way to compactly store multiple pairs of glasses while keeping them visible is the organizer from Great Useful Stuff, which attaches to a hanger. I just wish it weren't called the Hang-Hers Glasses Organizer, since there's nothing obviously gendered about such a product.

A wall-mounted eyeglass holder could work well for wearers with limited desktop or other flat-surface space, those who prefer to keep such spaces clear, or those who want to keep their glasses away from children and pets. The Pinocchio eyeglass holder from 25togo mounts to flat surfaces using a 3M damage-free hanging stripe with a stainless steel base attached to it. The Pinocchio then attaches to that base with a magnet. Personally, I'd be a bit nervous about accidentally knocking the glasses off of the holder—so I'd position it carefully, in a place where I'd be unlikely to hurt the glasses if they did fall.

The sunglasses organizer from High Tide Woodworks uses a bungee cord; it mounts using keyhole hangers. Those with the right skills and tools could probably make something similar as a DIY project, but not all of us have those skills and tools.

And for eyeglass wearers who take their reading glasses (or any others) on and off throughout the day, the Eyecatchers from Micki Whelan Studio might be helpful. These pendants have a magnetic closure, which is easier for many people (including those with arthritis) to work with than a conventional clasp would be.
