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.

You can buy credit card size fresnel lenses, pretty good magnification.

Hah, already got one in my wallet, pretty handy at times. It also doubles as a way to start fires in the sunlight. ๐Ÿ‘
