Words can't really describe how much that sucks.

1. I feel your pain
When I was on my recent road trip, I stopped at a little store in West Virginia and while stretching my legs, decided to redo my hair. Took my glasses off, set them on top of the car and promptly forgot they were there. Got in car, backed up and then realized I had no glasses on. Utter panic.

Luckily for me, they were still on top of the car (which was amazing). I had close to 3000 miles to drive still and it wouldn't have been pretty had I been peering out the windshield, squinting.

2. Luckily, I'm flying home Monday night.
Unless the pilot urgently needs my assistance, I don't see a traveling problem.

3. Go to a Pearl Vision - they'll put 'em back together.
Might charge you a few bucks, but they'll get it done.

And probably other optics places would do it as well.

Even if you broke the lenses, they might be able to make new ones where you are.

And yes, broken glasses suck - I broke mine once, right in half. THankfully I had a friend who could drive me someplace to get them fixed, but the five hours of waiting, not being able to wear the glasses, was awful.

4. Nah. They're fubar.
I'm gonna need new frames when I get home. Apparently, I landed a few pro-wrestling-style elbow drops on them in the middle of the night.

5. Oh no!
That's terrible! Personally, I couldn't do anything without my glasses, except for read a book up close to my face. Lol. Everything else is a blur!

Hope you get through the next few days alright!! :hug:

6. I have my 'script sunglasses.
But that looks stupid when I'm talking to clients. I'm just going to squint a lot I guess.
