A hiker who set out for a casual walk through the Mountain Lake wilderness lost his glasses when he hit a branch on the trail. He was unable to locate his glasses and, when darkness fell, unable to find his way out of the wilderness.
Marvin Grant eventually used his cell phone to call the hotel and authorities were dispatched. Grant was able to see flashing lights and hear sirens. He followed the lights and sirens to safety.
I can relate to this story. I’m pretty much blind without my glasses. That’s why I always bring two pair – in case I lose a pair or if a hawk swoops down and plucks a pair off of my face.

Same here. No glasses, nothing but blurs. I carry an extra pair, these days.
