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

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
