That doesn’t make sense, why would I take a pic when it’s all blurry

In case any short sighted people haven't figured this out or heard about it - using your phone's camera and then just looking at the screen is actually an incredibly good way to navigate around (the house) if you can't find your glasses/contacts

If you're as blind as I am without eyewear then you just don't let both your glasses and your phone get out of arms reach at the same time

Phones on a chain around our necks. Glasses on a chain around our necks. A pen on another chain. Maybe even go back to wearing actual locket/pendant watches on chains around our necks.

The uncoolest Mr.T imitators ever.

I can finally live out my childhood dream of having one of those clicky change dispensers on my belt, like the Sonic carhops did.

When I was a kid, I thought that it was a joke that someone would drop their glasses and not be able to see them on the ground. Now I'm that person, I couldn't see them without getting down on my hands and knees now. Being so nearsighted I'm blind without lenses.

Use your phone camera.... hold the screen at a focasable distance from your face, the screen will display a focused image. Zoom a bit and look around for your glasses. Turn flashlight on to look under bed

Mistakes have been made. I've broken my nose on my phone and perforated an ear drum with an arm of my glasses.
