My Glasses Just Broke!

One 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.

Oh, no. *snuggles you* I hate it when my glasses get broken, and wearing an older pair? *shudders*

I am saved! The optician in Union Station (the main Washington DC rail station, which has a small shopping mall that caters to travelers and which is next to my office) put on a new temple piece for only $15, which is money well spent as far as I'm concerned!

Oh no! And on Memorial Day, too. Eeep!

Fortunately, the optician at Union Station (right next to my office) was able to put a new temple on them during my lunch break, for only $15!

Glasses are one of the things that I don't mind changing from time to time! 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.
