I'm obviously not familiar with anyone's financial situation, but I purchased a pair of prescription safety glasses without using my vision benefits (so I don't use up the one pair of lenses I get per year). I got it without the reading correction that I normally have on my glasses (the optometrist said that for what I was using them for, it was unneeded. Most of the time I agree with him....except when trying to read the manual!). It only cost me about $250 all in. Not a horrible investment IMO. And yes, I've left events and totally forgotten that I have them on. I'm careful to put my regular glasses in the case that I took the safety glasses out of and throw it back in my bag.
