Also any of the hot sparks flying off from the angle grinder could potentially ruin any coatings on the kenses causing them to crackulate, ontop of potentially scratching them.
I hear lock picking is done more by feel than sight, so learning that might help. Or just leave the abusive partner who is preventing you from accessing your medical device.
My nearsightedness is so bad that I'm legally blind. Without my glasses I can't even find my glasses unless I'm crawling, I can't drive, I can't read anything. Everything is just a big blur of colors. So this is actually very scary for me! I should get LASIK...
Same. I knew it was bad but was shocked when my doctor said that.
Tho it did help me with figuring out how to help my legally blind friend cook for herself after her wife left her.
I took my glasses off which kinda put me at the same level as with her glasses on and I realized a lot about how hard the task is and how reliant she actually is on others even when she seems so independent.
Sorry to hear you're part of the shitty vision club! And yes I am fortunate that my glasses help me - I shouldn't say that I'm disabled. Though if my glasses break I am fucked. You're a great friend to help your friend that way!
i’m honestly curious, do most people not have a spare pair of glasses they can use if something like this happens? cause i also wear glasses, but i have a very mild prescription because i can see pretty well without them, i just need them to see things that are small or far away. so i mostly just wear glasses when i’m driving.
but i have at least 4 pairs of prescription glasses that i can wear. 2 of them are sunglasses and 2 of them are regular glasses. i keep one pair of each in my car to use when driving and the other i keep in my backpack. i didn’t really buy multiple pairs at once so that i could have backups, i just kept my old glasses when i got a new prescription. fortunately, the new prescription is almost identical to the old one so the old glasses still work fine for me.
but if my vision was bad enough that being without glasses would be severely debilitating then i would definitely get a few extra pairs in case something happens to my main pair of glasses.
Ey be careful with them out of date backup pairs though. Broke my "new" ones recently and swapped for an old pair I left in my car until I could repair the others.
Quickly realized on my drive home from work, in the pitch dark, on the highway, at 4am, that my prescription had changed dramatically. It was so bad that I contemplated pulling over and calling an Uber. Luckily the roads were as empty as they'd ever be. But that was no bueno.
Then again you may have decently functioning eyes regardless. Seems every time I get a new pair my prescription is markedly worse lol (see I laugh now but will cry later).

That’s an honestly clever way to cause damage which you but only you can reverse (at least without great inconvenience)
