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.

Smart. Makes me wonder if it could be fun to have a big round prescription lens in a magnifying glass handle.

It's just a pity my eyes don't have the same Rx.

My prescription is roughly -4.5, quite nearsighted.
