Life Pro Tip: If you have an old retired pair of prescription glasses laying around, have one of the lenses ground down to snap into a keyring to fit in your wallet, or keychain, your choice. (lemmy.world)

You can buy credit card size fresnel lenses, pretty good magnification.

Hah, already got one in my wallet, pretty handy at times. It also doubles as a way to start fires in the sunlight. ๐Ÿ‘
