My dear husband came home yesterday and said " i have lost my glasses " he has prescription sunglasses and was wearing them , trouble is these £250 pair that he has lost only had them a month does anyone know if i can claim on the contents insurence which has personal belongings on it. any advice welcome dont want to spend another £250 in such a short space of time Margaret

Did you pay with a credit card? You may be able to claim from them. If he lost them, case and all, they may have been returned to the opticians - well you never know!!

Margaret, you can certainly claim on your household contents insurance (well, I suppose it might depend on the individual company). My mum has made two genuine claims for lost and broken glasses on her policy. Good luck, Mandy :)

Hi Mags no paid in cash and he has the empty glass case at home they went missing while he was working so they could be anywhere Margaret

Make him retrace his steps first!!! Most people will hang on to a pair of lost glasses once they know they are prescription, as they know someone will be desperately searching for them! Maz. XX

Maz He has retraced where he was even the car got searched they have just vanished Margaret

I sympathise, I lost my prescription glasses last year in the car. I searched everywhere and concluded they must have fallen out of the car when parked as I have a bad habit of just slotting them into the door pocket if I'm in a hurry, and not putting them back in the case. After several weeks of managing on my prescription sunglasses - not too good for nightime driving! - I finally went to the opticians and got a new pair. The next day I found the pair I'd lost! I'd managed to put it in the same glasses case as my sunglasses and despite looking at it had not recognised it as my current pair. Was I mad with myself? Not half. Angela

Did you look yourself Margaret, or did you trust him!! ;-D Just know that my husband gets in a panic (although he would deny this!) when he can't find something and then when I go back and search calmly, usually the missing item miraculously appears! What about his pockets or his briefcase/toolbox (dunno what he does for a living!). I don't suppose they are still on top of his head!!!!!?? Let us know what happens! Maz. XX

What would you do with them husbands i mean i could ??????? him he has just phoned me guess what i have found my glasses where says i ---------- in my coat pocket , still he has save me phone calls and paperwork and £250. Margaret

Wish I'd found mine before I forked out £200 for a replacement pair! Maybe you coud persuade him that now your are £250 better off than you might have been, he owes you a treat! Angela :-)

Hi again Margaret - has he hot any ears left to hang them on now that you've boxed them soundly ? lol Glad he managed to find them. Mags

MEN !!!!!!!!! Maz. XX

MEN!!!!!! yes what would you do with them he will be in later smiles all over his face glad i found my glasses Take care all Margaret x x
