Fixing Loose Screws on Eyeglasses

So you think you have a screw loose. Well, notice on your glasses what you are going to find is that on this plastic one for instance, the only screws that come on here, are on the temples. So, if your temples flopping around like this, it is time to go ahead and get your temples tightened. The other place on the metal frame, where the screws can come loose, is right here where the lenses open up. And again how that can happen, how a screw can become loose is taking it off and putting it on with one hand. You stretch and uncoil the screws. Screws on glasses, are screws just like everything else, you can use just a flat screwdriver to tighten this, or it could have Phillips' heads on them. There is two attachments. The problem to buying one of the screw kits from a drugstore or major retailer is that supposedly one screw for all glasses, and that is just not true. Often times if those screws are to long, and you do not have a pair of clippers to cut the screw off, you are going to have a big sharp screw coming out of the top of your glasses. So, in that case again, I think that is something that you should take to you optician. If the screws keep coming loose then you can have the optician put "Lock tight" into the screw, and on the screw, so it does not thread out so easily. Also, you could have unthreaded the screw and it may just need a new screw or it may have actually damaged the frame, in that case you would need a new frame. So, definitely something to consider and again I would take it to your optician to have him or her take a look at it.
