I forgot about that. A pill fob with a 5 day supply of my prescription medications and two doses of Aspirin. Carried off body most days, but on body in lieu of a pocket knife when I fly.

No spare glasses for two reason. First, my uncorrected vision is 20/35. Borderline for driving (20/40 or better), and I can function without glasses if need be. Second is insurance only covers the first pair of eyeglasses. Sunglasses and spares are out of pocket(about $200 each for decent frames and lenses).
