Life Pro Tip: If you have an old retired pair of prescription glasses laying around, have one of the lenses ground down to snap into a keyring to fit in your wallet, or keychain, your choice. (lemmy.world)

Ignore the spikes LOL! But yeah, I keep that modded old lens in my wallet, in case I ever lose my glasses.

My first thought was something like this.

Or converting the lens into an actual monocle.

That was sort of the loose redneck idea, use what I have to make a backup lens. Thankfully I've never outright needed to use it, but if I ever lose my glasses, I sleep with my wallet in my pocket, with my backup lens right there.

Edit: And yes, the lens comes from a slightly dated prescription of mine, plus the lens seems pretty darn scratch resistant, so it's a solid emergency lens, should I ever need it.
