Spectacles

I was just wondering if any of you have the same problem with spectacles as i do? Mine are forever losing the screws or the lenses pop out i take them back to the opticians but a week or so later after i clean the lenses, out they pop again if its not the lenses its the screws at the side. Maybe things aren't made to last anymore.

Hi doc , I think it depends where you buy them .daughter has bought glasses from specsavers and had problems yet when she eventually bought from my opticians never had any . I'd definitely take them back and insist they sort it . After all they are not cheap . Speak to other opticians too .

Re: Spectacles

Doc, might it be because of your strength and you need to be a bit more gentle when cleaning the lenses?

Re: Spectacles

Never had that problem I buy from local independent optician or glasses direct on line. Both stock good glasses.

A tiny drop of superglue on the screw. It won't come undone.

Gosh, JBR, you're not just a pretty face!
That's a good hint!

Re: Spectacles

I was thinking the same or perhaps a blob of Locktite.

(Or perhaps a couple of Floydy's old anchor bolts)

Re: Spectacles

Have been a customer of Specsavers for 20+ years. Am currently wearing a pair of glasses which I purchased from them about 10 years ago (my eyesight hasn't altered in all that time).

The only adjustment I make is to tighten the screw on the arm (use 2nd newer pair of glasses to do so) from time to time.

Re: Spectacles

Angel, you haven't seen my face. However, as it happens you are perfectly correct!

Re: Spectacles

or even something called locktight will do the job
