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.

The last time I got glasses from Walmart, they cost me $217, and their scratch resistant coating is terrible! I didn't even make it out to the vehicle without somehow getting 4 scratches on the right lens, and after a couple years or so, sweat totally messes that coating all up.

The only reason I even went to Walmart was because of the whole Covid lockdown shit, I would have had to schedule an appointment with my preferred eye doctor about 3 months in advance, and I just couldn't wait that long.

The lens in the keyring came from my preferred eye doctor, after the frames broke on me. Lenses from him have fantastic scratch resistant coating, even after years of being tucked in my wallet, it still looks damn near brand new!
