The Glasses Conundrum

While in Milwaukee I went to clean my glasses… and a lens started to come off. I pushed it back in the frame, but that wasn’t going to work forever.

There is a sad truth for those of us that wear glasses. You can’t work on your own!

I knew, from looking in the mirror, a screw was coming loose. If I took off the glasses, I couldn’t see there was a screw to come loose.

What exactly are you supposed to do when you’re on the road?

Today, I got out my magnifying “Geek Goggles” and tightened the screw. Case closed, for now.

  1. “I knew, from looking in the mirror, a screw was coming loose.”

    That would be a great first line of a novel.

  2. From the world traveler: always carry a 99 cent glasses repair kit, and when all goes wrong take it, your glasses and find the brightest light you can, which gives you improved vision. And, of course, you can make good use of Helaine’s or the hotel’s make-up mirror . . . .

  3. The same thing happened to my husband last year in Las Vegas. We had to run to a CVS (or Walgreens-can’t remeber which) on the strip to get a repair kit, and he fixed them easily. But now I have it in my travel bag if it ever happens again.
