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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, so I scheduled an appointment to get a new pair. The soonest available appointment? November 21st. 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 went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML
Today, after my naked husband farted in my face because he’s an immature man child who refuses to act his age, this morning I woke up with raging pink eye. I’m half blind and I’m supposed to be taking my driving test this afternoon. I can’t see. 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, 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 woke up, and I could see perfectly. Somehow, during the night, my eyes magically became 20/20. I was overjoyed, until I realized I'd fallen asleep with my glasses on. My eyes are still trash, and I want to cry. FML
Today, I scratched my cornea and have to wear a large bandage covering my eye. I'm off today, but I'll probably have to wear it to school tomorrow. FML
Today, my elderly mother explained that, "I don't need my glasses to drive, I just need them to see." FML

Don't! Please, for the love of everything, don't drive! Take a plane, take a bus, hitch a ride, whatever, just... wait, you could post to the Book of Faces: "Drive me to (state) or I will drive with my Mr.Magoo vision!"

Just squint really hard. That's what my dad does since he refuses to go see an optometrist!

Your dad is a danger to everyone else. He seriously needs to be taken off the road until he finally gets his eyes taken care of.

Yea. I don’t have a spare despite how reliant I am on glasses. My prescription is very strong and very expensive even with insurance. It’s just not affordable for extras, especially when you need vastly new ones every couple of years.

Always keep a spare pair of glasses in your car!

Who doesn’t keep an old pair as a spare?

Go to the Eye Doctor and get a prescription for contacts. They will normally also give you a sample contact lense set to try on. This should get you through the time until your glasses are fixed.
