Today, I broke my glasses, so I scheduled an appointment to get a new pair. The soonest available appointment? November 21st. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML
Today, an arm fell off my only glasses. Problem is I can’t fix it, since I can barely see without actually wearing them. Tomorrow, I’ll be getting around with one-armed glasses until I find someone who isn’t half blind and can tighten a tiny screw. FML
Today I broke my glasses beyond repair. I am very nearly legally blind. I get my glasses at Walmart and today, Christmas, is the only day out of the entire year that they are closed. Merry Christmas to me. FML
Today, I walked into the glass door of my boss’s cabin and broke my spectacles. Thank god for a backup pair, right? Wrong. I fell down the stairs and broke them too. FML
Today, after buying a new pair of prescription glasses, I went to the beach. The ocean now has a new pair of glasses. FML
Today, while I was normally and gently cleaning my glasses with my shirt they snapped in half. This is the second time this has happened, with the exact same glasses. The optometrist got me another pair last time, but this time they said no because it was too suspicious. I now have to buy $150 glasses again. FML
Today, I arrived 10 minutes early to my orthodontist's office to get my braces off. It turns out my appointment was actually one hour earlier, and now the next available appointment is in four weeks. FML
Today, I lost my glasses. I don't have spares but my girlfriend said I could borrow hers. She doesn't understand why this won't work. FML
Today, I broke my glasses. How did I break my glasses? A cow kicked me in the face at work. FML
Today, my boss and I were stacking boxes in the back room of the store. One of the boxes fell and hit me in the face, causing me to lose my glasses. My boss stepped on my glasses as she ran to check the box for broken merchandise, which I then had to pay for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's when they'll check your eyes. It'll probably be 2-3 months more to get glasses made. Try contacts. Make sure you're good and drunk when you try to put them in.

Ouch, this is why, if you can afford it (which I know some people can't) get a second pair when you buy your glasses.

go check out clearly.ca! If you know your prescription you can order cheap new glasses on there (I'm not sure how fast their shipping is) tho I dont think they make glasses for people with astigmatism but I've heard good things from others who were able to order! I'm sure your regular eye dr should be able to print out your prescription for you.

I'm practically blind without my glasses, so I always keep 4 or 5 cheap spares incase my nicer ones break. If you have your prescription, I would recommend ordering them online as several places offer really good deals.

This is why you should always have a backup pair of glasses.
