The right lens popped out again. Fourth time in the four months since I bought them. It's maddening. There's no logic to it. Last time, the technician said the frame screw wasn't loose, the lens just didn't fit the frames well. This time a different technician said she added "screw-lock" to the screw hole. Screw lock is tiny metal scrapings in oil that get crushed around a screw when it tightens to help hold it into place better. Apologies if you knew that, but I never know who knows what.
I can't decide which to do if the lens comes out again. I could fuss with the store about a free replacement (maybe in a plastic frame). Or I could put on some latex gloves, grab a toothpick, and carefully superglue the damn lens in place!
My 2014 eyeglasses lens seldom fell out. About once a year when the frame screw became loose. And when one did, it was a simple matter to use my magnifying headstrap and jeweler's screwdriver to replace and retighten it.
But I can't seem to tighten the screw on the new frame. Even my magnifying headstrap isn't clear. Maybe it is a hex-head or square-inset type. I'll have to get out my jeweler's loupe to see it better. Yeah, I have some weird stuff, LOL!
I'm glad my prescription hasn't changed much since 2014. The old glasse are about the same as the new ones, but the old ones are a bit abrded from years of being kept in my shirt posket. But I can still read a newspaper or the computer monitor with them. They function when the lens of the new one pops out...
