Always better to have a standby specs. One learns from own mistakes. Any way continue as your one eye is almost normal. But give break & rest after 30 minutes.

Hello. As already mentioned, it's easier to get the Spectacles on the same day but it depends on your location.
Secondly, a certain website is offering to deliver the glasses even during this period. You may try.

Your eye power is such that you'd be able to manage most of the work without much fuss. You might have some eye strain on and off but it won't hamper your work.

Don't worry.
Your prescription of glasses are such that you can manage most activities without glasses.
Minor imbalance may be felt but won't cause any harm.
Just take small breaks between screen use.
If you have any old pair of glasses, that will also work even if prescription is slightly different.
Best wishes, take care

Hello. As you have mentioned that your glasses broke, its a kind of emergency but there is a big national emergency which is going on, so almost all the shops are shut. You can try to join by doing some jugaad temporarily. As per your information about the power in your eyes you can continue doing your routine work as much as you can do comfortably. Give breaks in between doing long works or spending more time in front of computers, mobile or laptop. Your right eye will work comfortably as compared to your left eye with high power. Take more of liquids and energy rich food to minimise eye strain.
