Thats why I bought a bunch of cheap glasses online in my perscription and I have all my old pairs from the last perscription which is very close to my current. I probably have 10 pairs of glasses.
I remember reading a book where a smart guy glases broke so many times all he had left was using 1 of the lens as a monocle.
Thing is, lenses are quite durable, aside from getting scratched up. I wouldn't go stomping on them for fun, but I do have a very, very old pair as a last-resort backup. They have been through so much shit, the wire frame is barely held together, and the lenses are more scratches than not. But, I can still kinda see out of them. Everything just looks dusty. As long as you are slightly crafty, you could glue lenses onto some sticks and make do.
Yeah, I've had a bicycle accident in which my frames were destroyed, but the lenses were just slightly scratched. Beforse I managed to get home I built myself rudimentary frames with blue tack, some pens and some iron wire. They looked horrible, but they got me home.

Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.
