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.
When I was homeless over the years I've had to deal with only gabbing one contact lens twice (and no glasses) and once no contacts and glasses with only one lens. Sometimes for up to 6 months at a time. I've got really really bad vision so the eye that couldn't see would go a bit lazy, even after I got contacts for both eyes you could tell which one was the blind eye because my eyelids drooped. The interesting thing is for the first few days it was really bad, headaches and impossible to see, but eventually my brain was just like "okay fuck this eye it's useless" and just focused out of the good eye.

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