Default eyeglass-lens falls out (even with bolt); for safety, epoxy?

My lenses will fall out of my frames.

This is even when there's an actual BOLT (with nut) being used.

(This latest time: nut has somehow unscrewed from bolt (and
disappeared) and of course the frame springs apart and
lens drops out.)

SAFETY ISSUE: should this happen when driving in heavy,
fast traffic, one could end up dead, especially with the
instant mix of one eye seeing and the other totally blurred
can screw up the brain mechanisms for "seeing" -- at least
for me.


So, suppose you used epoxy or some of that "instant"-glue to
avoid this happening; *where* (and how) would you apply the stuff?

Around the bolt and especially the nut?

Along the inside of the rim?



Now, when and if your eyes have changed and you need
a new prescription, how to UN-glue the lens?

Is there some kind of a solvent that would work?

How about a Dremel tool?



Thanks!

The person who edged your lenses did a sloppy job and should remake them.
The lenses need to be the correct size to match the frame. They should
use your frame as the pattern, not us a different "same" frame or
pattern/template.

Take them back and demand what you paid for, a properly dispensed pair of
eye glasses.


Just take them anywhere. My husband is very rough with his glasses and I've
never been charged anything for the minor repairs at any eye-glass store. He
didn't even buy the glasses there, and there's never any charge.
