What size screws are used in specticles and where can I get them,
other than
an opticians that is. I am forever losing the perishing things out of my
glasses.I suppose soem sort of model supplies must have very small
screws or
instrument suppliers.

My local pound shop (poundland) has spectacle repair kits, including
screws for, you guessed it, a pound


That's where I got the screws for my husband's spectacles. He was
forever losing the screw, always from the same side - I deduced that
it's the way he takes his glasses off, putting stress on the same
side all the time.

The screw is more likely to stay in place if you drop a blob of
clear nail varnish on it, once it's in place...


So much good advice so soon. I will follow all these up. I hadn't thought
about it but I have the same problem, always the same side and beinf right
handed I take them off from the RHS. I will try the nail varnish trick.
