broken glasses

Recommended Posts

Being the bonehead that I am, last week I forgot to bring my glasses case with me, so just threw them in my pocket. Of course the snapped on the bridge.

 

I tried scotch tape (worked for a bit, but wobbly and silly looking) and krazy glue (glue not strong enough to hold the weight at the bridge) and in combination (slightly better but still fragile).

 

Anybody know anything I can do that works, but doesn't make me look like an idiot?

I don't know if it would work without seeing the glasses, but maybe a "splint" or splints of some kind could be incorporated along with the tape, like a section of paper clip. However, your "not looking like an idiot" clause might be too limiting for that method.

the frame is metal, btw.

 

Perhaps you can find some cheap readers at the drug store you can fit your lenses in.

Good idea... not sure if it'll work because the shape is a bit unique, but you never know.

Umm, why don't you just go get some new ones? That's what I do when I break my glasses. Actually, I get my wife to take me, since I can't drive without glasses.

 

because I'm cheap, and my insurance only covers 1 pair per year.
