Screw Loose

For the third time, Fabs has a screw loose 'well he would have married to you' I hear you cry .......
No no no, on his specs !
He picks them up and the lens pops out, then the hunt is on for the tiny screw
But why ? Why does the screw become so loose

 

That's weird...Ive never had that happen.

Maybe since it always comes loose...the hole has become a tad bigger, not by much but just enough for the screw to come out.

 

Have the same problem with the 'readers' I buy for work. I put a very tiny drop of Super Glue on
the top of each screw.
( make sure it dries completely before using... )
This seems to keep them in place for a while. Then I drop them, step on them, or I can't find them, etc...

If all else fails, I use these in a pinch.

 

Thanks Tim - this is the second pair that it has occurred
He never folds them and we just don't see why the screw should become loose
Not had the problem with mine either
We thought of superglue and may have to do that

Try clear nail polish.

I still have a screw loose, just not in my glasses.

 

I was going to post that about the nail polish. It works very well.

 

It does work well. I've used it on two pair. Some people are hard on shoes, some on glasses.

 

Of course, in @Patsy Faye 's case, it might take more than nail polish.

 

Thanks for all your smashing replies
Still puzzled as to why it happens, another mystery
We will try the suggestions as well as buying 'extra' screws from the optician, took me a while to think of that one

 

@Patsy Faye , I'm still trying to figure out why the clothes dryer makes one sock disappear. I've had my washer and dryer for about 25 years, but the last set my son tore apart thinking those socks had to be somewhere. Of course he found no socks, but at least with the machines torn apart he was able to transport them to the recycling place a lot easier.

Tell your Fabs that having a loose screw just makes him normal.

 

@Ina I. Wonder - yes, tis a mystery as to where those darn socks go

 

Many times I can find them inside a corner of fitted sheet.

 

@Gloria Mitchell - ha ha, no - they are reading glasses, so no chance of being in there, good thinking though
Fortunately he found the screw

 

My bad... I was talking about socks
