Dan has killed my glasses 😭

[StarsandSparkles]

Can my glasses be saved? I was getting ready and he was playing quietly at my feet, i know i should of moved them out his reach but i was just about to put them on after i got dressed. He has snapped the leg clean off the frame. The small screw is still attatched to the leg

Classic dan....

No advice really, but my own Dan (who is 18m old, and called something else really) did just this a month or so back. Luckily the glasses were over 2 years old, so I was due a voucher.

WHAT !!!!
I didn't mean to.
Actually, I can't remember anything.

Umm am I your optician ?
''Twas a joke of course dc and glasses never mix or ddogs and apex for that matter. But should be able to replace the front of the frame ( sides are fine) for a very small charge. Meanwhile don't try to glue as it won't work on this particular break.
To the poster who's bridge keeps snapping, buy fine magnets and glue to either side of the bridge and voila no more breaks and a super cool pair you can hang round your neck too

You can go to any opticians.

Love the typo related banter

danfmdorking Go to the naughty step at once! 😂

Fucking Dan.

Your dog is called Nacho? Wish it had been him. "Nacho glasses. Bad dog".

flumps forgive me for being really thick here but see when you say the front of the frame is that the bit that the lenses are in?

mimsy he is indeed. He already had his name when i got him from dogs trust. He was in the bad books last night for stealing my olaf jammy bottoms to use as his pillow haha

Looks like an Elastoplast job

You could get a pair cheap online to use as spares and use your others full time (if I read it right and you do have a second pair...Dan distracted me!) I have a pair that cost me under £20, they were to keep me going for a few weeks but they were great and suited me so I ended up just keeping those and nobody would guess they were cheap if I didn't keep telling everyone! yet my sister paid around £200 and was told they looked cheap I have had these about 18months now and no problem

smurfy yes i have another pair i have them on just now. My lenses are for distance mostly

If you've got a recent prescription and need simple lenses then have a look at glassesdirect. They do pairs starting at £20 for two pairs. I need mine for distance and got some from there and they're good quality and nice designs. They're also quick, it took less than two weeks to get my glasses and that included some frames being sent out to try before ordering my glasses.

I have a feeling i threw the copy of my prescription away :( i got the glasses in november

Yes the front is where the lenses are, it looks like the hinge at the front has snapped.
Please do not buy online Dispensing opticians have 3-4years training to a level 6 nvq or higher and are a protected title for a reason. When people say I buy online and it's fine I cringe as your eyes will adjust to most things eventually that doesn't mean they work. I wouldn't buy my medicine online or google dr for my diagnosis.

If it comes to it im more than happy to buy new frames as i really like these glasses

Your optician should have a record of your prescription and should give you a copy if you ask.

If you like the frames I'd see if they can either fix them or get a new frame and put your lenses in.

I buy mine online because I can't afford opticians prices and need glasses. I've had mine checked by an optician and they're fine. I also did a lot of research before buying online.

If memory serves me right the frames were around the £30 mark. My auntie says ive to tell her something other than ds broke them to save face but id not have a clue what to say instead

That would work as i can be quite clumsy at times lol

Lol...thank op for this. Bad dan.. try asda their frames etc are very reasonably priced. I even get thin lenses within the price.

Nearest asda with an opticians is 22 miles away and a pita to get to when you cant drive

If you decid to use superglue to fix your glasses, do not hold them with your fingers while you wait for the glue to dry
Unless you want to glue your specs to your fingers, eh MIL?

Fucking Dan.

You can't fix those glasses. Can you go and get new ones tomorrow? I sat on my glasses and they were all messed up. I tried to fix them and then wore wonky glasses for about 2 months. I wish I'd got new ones quicker but I was a silly thing.

When i got my glasses in november i got 2 pairs so im using the other pair just now
