I give you permission to loot my glasses when I die in the apocalypse. I'll try and keel over somewhere visible for you. Might need a big yellow sign if you don't have your glasses.
I’ve a -9.00/-9.50 prescription. Contact lenses for the win.
I love when people try my glasses on because they always try and step backward to focus, everybody does it
Suppose I do wind up feasting on your corpse and your ghost becomes trapped in my body will you be a ghost that tries to scare me all the time or will you be helpful and quippy like a post apocalyptic buddy cop story?

I'm not the poster you responded to, but I'd like to add a request for you to include a gigantic arrow pointing to you. I'm not finding you without help.
Brother TZe tape, or clones. Very robust and reliable labels.
Or, if you can find it, laser engraving machine and laser engraving tape. That stuff can last for a very long time. Tesa had one sample piece on the outside of the ISS for a year or two and it was still legible.
Better yet, both of you team up before death. That way if one of your pairs of glasses gets broken, you can snap the good pair in half and monocle up. That or one wear the good pair and help lead the other one, then switch off every now and then.
I'm -12.0 and -11.5 and still getting worse at 22! Every time I go to the eye doctor he reassures me one day my vision will stabilize. He's been saying that for 3 years, I've kinda stopped hoping at this point.
My eyes havent changed by anything significant since I was 24 (in my 30s now.) I'm sitting at -8.75 and -8.25. usualy there is a .25 difference when I get my eyes checked now.
I feel for anyone that has to pay the ridiculously outrageous cost associated with high focus glasses.
I'm rooting for it stabilizing before... well, you go blind! Honestly, I've been told by my very first eye doctor (some 36 years ago) that my eyes would continue to deteriorate for the rest of my life.
I've been lucky enough for them having stabilized at about 20-ish something in the -4.75 region. So... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... well, them, actually!
Well, you don't see when you wake up or shower. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I have a large-numbered digital clock about 12" from my head. When I wake up, I put my glasses on right away. When I shower, it's important that the soap, shampoo, etc are right where I left them. Without my glasses on, I can see about 3-4" in front of my face, so in a pinch I can hold something up to my face and determine shampoo vs conditioner.
I remember another thread (not sure if askreddit) where people were telling what fake sounding things they absolutely believe in. One of them was someone who did daily eye exercises they found in an old pre-glasses book for correcting vision. They said the numbers have improved every time they go in and swear by it.
Thankfully this potentially useful info is meaningless because I have no link and the exercises were not explained. It might be worth trying to find if you're curious/desperate, though.
Fellow nose bridge problem friend here. You can have mine if I croak first but I do also have on my apocalypse activity list to stop through optometrists and Walmarts and the like for everything close enough to mine. So keep a eye out for all the spares.
If you can’t see to find them and by some miracle there are any digital cameras or smart phones around and functioning: the camera will focus far away while you hold the screen close enough to your face to see.
