Do you wear reading glasses?

The only useful item I have ever had from a Christmas cracker was a miniature tool kit which includes a tiny screwdriver, which was just perfect for tightening the frame of my spectacles. Sadly, it disappeared some time ago. Fortunately, my local opticians will adjust frames, including screws, without charge. They charge so much in the first instance, I don't regard it as a favour.

I don't wear corrective glasses at all but I do wear sunglasses a lot. Usually I buy them secondhand for a few kroner, couple of quid/dollars.

The curious thing is that a lot of them look as though they are constructed just the same as prescription frames but while I often had to tighten screws on my wife's glasses I very rarely have to do it on my cheap sunglasses. Perhaps I just lose them before the screws come loose.

I agree with you, the miniature screw idea is terrible. I would say make it seamless and shape the lens so it snaps in once and never comes out again. Why mess around with it.. well of course we all know the answer, they want frames to break so you have to buy more.
It's like going to the dentist, he doesn't want to permanently fix your teeth, he just puts in a temporary fix that lasts a few years, and every cleaning he digs it away until it breaks again. Its all a money making scheme.

Yes, for the past decade or so. These days I'm using simple magnifying glasses -- 5 pair for 15 dollars as opposed to $300 for prescription reading glasses, and they work just as well.

I'm near sighted so I don't need reading glasses. Need glasses for driving though.

I get a new pair from the VA every year. Tiny tool kits for glasses are less than $5. Some include screws.

Yes I do

Bi focals -minor repairs free at my opticians.

Yes as well as glasses for distance and contacts for work 😂

I should, but I don't

I do...I wear bifocals.

yes, just got a fancy new pair. my first of bifocals, i get to at least keep being a stylish geezer now.🤷🏿🧓🏾

My optometrist fixes the glasses for free

Yes 3 to 4 pack about $22 on Amazon. I loose them. Screw the screws.

I took them back, they repaired them and added a dab of loctite. 🙂

i don't yet but i might soon .. or eventually

I think prescription snorkel goggles would solve the problem... no lenses, no screws, just an elastic head strap, a single wide angle lens and a convenient breathing tube. Easy Peezy!

A drop of Loctite on the thread will stop the screw loosening.😷

Not yet, but near the age vision will begin changing,

I have prescription glasses.
