Ignore the spikes LOL! But yeah, I keep that modded old lens in my wallet, in case I ever lose my glasses.

I did it myself with a bench grinder actually. Also got the other lens ground down to fit another same size keyring even.
Now, the plastic dust while grinding? Yeah, I probably should have worn a mask, but at least I made sure to do it outdoors.
Do you do something to keep from scratching the keychain-lens into oblivion?
Oddly enough, nope. All my cards get scratched to hell eventually, but apparently my scratch resistant lens ain't no Walmart joke, it's true scratch resistant.
Hell, I wish I could get a new prescription from my formal opthalmologist again, without having to wait 3 months..
Some good packing tape as a sacrificial surface, remove when needed?
P.s. cool spikes
Thanks for the compliment..

Nope, just raw-dogging it if you will. It's been in my wallet for years, barely any scratches that weren't already there to begin with before I placed it in there.
Guess I lucked out on that type of scratch resistant coating, but yeah it might be a good idea to consider making some sort of protective sleeve for it. Not all lenses are made equal..
