Writing yesterday's post reminded me that I had had 2 pairs of the previous prescription and ruined one. The frames had a tendency toward loose screws. I brought the previous back to For Eyes several times for that (after searching the office carpet for lost screws at least twice). They simply re-installed screws (Duh, I can do that).
I finally decided to epoxy the lenses to the frame and end the problem. Now, I'm a reasonably "ept" repair person. But I sure chose the wrong way to do it! With my slightly shaky hands, attempting to apply epoxy inside the frame rims and then getting the lenses back in while also trying to tighten the frame scres, I botched it big time! I had epoxy smears all over the lenses...
I contemplated the disaster. It wasn't the frame, it was the simple little screw. On the OTHER pair of glasses, I dabbed the tiniest bit of epoxy into the screw hole with a toothpick, tightened the screw and the problem was solved forever!
Man, I can be stupid sometimes!!!
I will do that with the new frames as a pre-emptive measure...
