If you lost your glasses and can’t see, you can use your phone to help you search for them

For those of us who are at the mercy of our glasses, losing them is borderline apocalyptic. Yet, what if there was an easy trick you could use to navigate your home while looking for them, without completely destroying the place? If you’ve lost your glasses and are near-sighted, use your phone camera to focus the world for you.

Genius! Whoever thought of this must be given an award ASAP.

And some people now just need to find their phone first so they can then find their glasses… Ah, well. Good luck, Doug! false

Before you take Stephen’s tip, make sure your glasses are not on your head or hanging from your shirt. Check your immediate surroundings before resorting to the phone method.

Side effects may include: low or dead phone battery, confusion, dismay, frustration, or broken glasses caused by stepping on them.

Thank you to Bijan Stephen for holding our hand through this game called life. Now if we could just use our phone camera to find everything else we’ve ever lost…
