chomijiOne of the temple pieces snapped clean through, right up next to the hinge.
The Mr. is trying to superglue them, but I don't hold out much hope. It's a very small surface area.
I am wearing my old glasses ... I can feel an eyestrain headache coming on already.

And for me, the cost of the lenses is always three or four times the cost of the frames, too: lineless bifocals + -8.5 diopters (main) + extra-thin lenses (or they'd look like coke bottle bottoms) + antiglare coating ... it adds up.
