My last pair of RX glasses I broke the ear piece off & they couldn't repair them & I didn't have money for a new eye test & glasses.... so I got creative.

First I glued the ear piece back on with super glue. I thought that might not hold when I went zip lining so I decided then to wrap it also with tape. It actually held on & off for about a year but I still had some large expenses to pay off before I could afford glasses.....so that was when I really got creative. I took floral wire & wire wrapped the ear piece to the glasses. I should have been even more creative & done both sides even the non-broken one so they would look like a new style instead if just REPAIRED broken glasses. Ah well last spring after about 3 years of wearing them repaired I was finally able to get a new pair & an eye exam too. These will have to last another 10 years....hope they do.
