Weeping over the increasing
number of my dead tropical fish throughout Sunday, I tried keeping things
in perspective. One fantastic thing, I recalled, was the fact my vintage
eyeglass frames with their expensive new high tech lenses were repaired right
before our vacation last autumn.
And yeah, they are great.
The long distance vision is
fantastic. Coming in from shoveling snow Saturday under cloudy skies showcased how
well the polarization works, too. So I sent up thanks to heaven while nudging
the left side with a delicate touch.
You see, the left lens seemed
to have drifted out of whack again, causing my consideration to get the frames
adjusted. Surely that’s all they need, I figured. I’ve been treating these
frames with great delicacy since their repair and planned on asking any
technician to treat them with the greatest care.
Well, torque wasn’t the
issue. The right side hinge snapped when I attempted to put them back on!

At what point should I give
up and purchase new eyeglass frames, do you think?
Now would be a good time for new frames or you're just going to do one thing or another trying to fix though. I speak from experience here. I've been wearing glasses for almost 30 years.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your fish. Bugger.
Have a fabulous day, Darla. Big hug. ♥
I've been wearing glasses 38 years. ~shakes head~ Hard to believe I'm nearing 50. Anyway, I have an appointment with the wizard eyeglass repairman. Wish me luck. And be well!
DeleteSorry, Darla, I think the time is now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. I'm still hoping to keep these for now, if only because we just paid for fancy, expensive lenses last fall. ~sigh~ We shall see. I'm about to head out to that fellow's shop. Be well!
ReplyDeleteDo you still love wearing those glasses? Then fight to keep them as long as possible, unless you can find a suitable replacement. But if they can't be fixed...
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do. ~grin~ And they are. Yay!
DeleteI hope your week gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you are well.
DeleteOh boy. Are they a little too narrow for your head by any chance? That will put pressure on hinges and frames.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a good point. I have a rather small head (which I'm happy to say fits my stature... heh) and think perhaps replace the lenses last fall caused the stress. Those opticians probably never worked with vintage frames before, something just occurred to me.
DeleteI need to get my glasses in to have an adjustment done, seems they don't wish to sat straight on my face anymore. Those are cool frames. Sorry about your fishes.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's annoying. Thank you for all the kinds words. You're having a much tougher time, I know. ~hugs~ Be well, my dear.
