I Broke It while Repairing it!

That's how foolishly I broke my pair of spectacles. Some of the screws on the frame had gone loose. I was trying to tighten them but while I was doing it I bent the frame too hard and it snapped! I need spects only to read. I don't have to stop reading or writing. I have a "use-n-throw" Chinese pair which works fine for me! Opticians and ophthalmologists discourage them but I find them good enough to fall back on. Have you ever tried them?

No, I have never heard of these. I should get some as if I lose or break my glasses I would really be in trouble.

They come ready made. They are sold in optical shops. You have to wear them and find which one suits you the best.

@franxav They sound like good to keep as a back up pair

Quite a few of my acquaintances use them. Those glasses are quite OK for them.

I find them OK too, only I don't find them large enough for me.

Are those like cheaters you use?

Probably. Cheaters mean different things at our place. What are they exactly for you?

I haven't heard about that. I hope you can get a new specs. I need a new one to replace mine. But it was costly.

New spects will be costly. Hopefully, I'll get them in a month.

@franxav I am hoping too. Good luck to both of us.

I've used them before and found them very helpful. I sometimes wonder if I should just use them and not bother with the expensive ones.

I have seen some of my friend use them always. Those glasses look too small for my face.

This has been me, ymteying to fix something like electric fan, tv, or even the mobile phone but instead breaking it worse

I am not the only one. That gives me some consolation.

@franxav No, I have never tried them. I need glasses to see and read. I have one pair for distance and one pair for reading.
