You could do what I do... Carry like six pairs to make up for all the glasses that I lose/drop/crush !!
obviously these aren't prescription.. Just cheap cheaters from the pharmacy.
I did finally start using the little cords ( whatever they are called ) so I can just flip the glasses off and have them just dangle from my neck. I was going broke replacing all the reading glasses I was dropping during preflight!
