Damn it!

The right lens on my glasses just fell out. Now I'm going to need to wear my really ugly perscription sunglasses or get an eye-patch. 'Cause I'm having no luck getting the damn thing back in and this squinting shit is going to get old quick...

EDIT: Mike managed to pop the lens back in. I'll probably replace these frames soon. Either go with a guy Mike knows ('cause he always knows a guy) or go to one of the places on my insurance list...

I used to have that happen with my old glasses -- a screw in the frame kept popping loose. I solved it by getting a "eyeglass repair kit" from a local drug store. It contains a "jeweler's screwdriver" (a very small flathead screwdriver), plus a few spare screws. As an alternative, if you know someone who has a set of jeweler's screwdrivers, you could just borrow the one you need. Finally, a lot of optometrists will put a lens back in an eyeglass frame free of charge.

I've got the little screwdrivers, I just can't manipulate the lens with my fat fingers so that it sits properly and lets me close the loop on the lens frame...

Well, don't be proud -- ask a friend or a relative to help you or do it for you.

It's not your fingers. I could never use those screwdrivers properly either. There's some kind of secret to it that involves macrovision or something...
