Glad you have your eyes again! Since I have eyes slightly better than an earthworm's, I understand how you've felt recently.
One excellent option for eyeglasses backups is Zenni Optical. I just checked their information, and they will ship outside the US (though not if charged on a US credit card, except for APO addresses). Their prices are exceptionally low, and I'm waiting to order a backup pair of glasses until I have my traditional near-year-end eye exam (which uses my medical flexible spending account if nothing else has), but other folks swear by them.
I've been erratic about reading LJ; I wish I'd seen the original bit about the breakage, and could have made this recommendation earlier.
