How do you find your glasses, with no glasses?

Mine are here somewhere but I'm like Stevie Wonder without them so this could take some time...

Someone should invent a whistling pair like you can get for lost keys.

Get yourself a glasses owl and leave them on that.

I can see with and without mind so I don't have that issue.

My glasses are a pain in the arse, great for long distance gawping, not so great if I want to look at something close up.

If I take them off I can see up close but not anything in the distance

The optician said I needed bi focals, I told him to shit off, that would be like admitting my fossilicity

I wish I took his advice

I hate my vari-focals, I reject the idea they're becoming more and more "useful"!!

I need my gegs for reading and working on close stuff; I will sometime get up from my work and wonder why the world is a bit blurry and then get back to the desk and wonder where my bloody gegs are.......often its after emptying draws and my work bag before I realise they are on my face......

I've been having this problem the last year or so. I'm shortsighted, but becoming less so as I age, and lately I've been finding it easier to focus on a computer monitor without my glasses than with them. Unfortunately, when I take them off I keep putting my glasses (black-framed) on the base of my monitor (black) and then not being able to find them.

I wear my vari-focals all the time so I hardly ever lose them. If I do I usually squint to bring stuff into focus.

They don't have the big line across them like in the olden days anymore

I have multiple pairs of glasses, that way I can put another pair on so that I'm able to find the lost ones.

Think I'm going to have to admit I'm old & get varifocals soon though as I have to peer over the top of my glasses to read things increasingly often these days

Tread carefully.

go to your favourite spots. That is where ypu have most likely left them.

I can see with and without them. So it's not a big issue for me.

Maybe hang them around your neck next time?
