As I have tripped over a dislodged slab of pavement (3 centimetres high) and broke my spectacles.

Good luck!!
Assume you are in UK - my 84 year old mother in law tripped over a paving slab which was fully raised. She was really badly hurt (broken nose, badly grazed chin and forehead and sprained wrist) - smashed her specs and her dentures. Had the full A&E report which we sent to the council and got absolutely NOTHING.
They said that the paving slab in question did not contravene anything and, when we went to see, it had been repaired although you could still see the bloodstains. Therefore they would not pay for repairs to glasses or dentures. In fact, they were really rude - even said that her age contributed to the fall! The A&E report stated that she was in excellent health for her age!
I strongly advise you to take a couple of photographs of the offending paving slab.
