Yeah, Mike. I broke mine in January and had to revert to my old safety glasses. I managed to stumble through and took the opportunity to get an early exam and new glasses, turns out my vision actually improved!..Or the last exam was faulty, either way though I'm seeing better now a days.

Sorry about the issues with the lenses big guy. I myself have had to go to a set of "cheaters" from time to time. At least for the computer side of things, depending on what browser you use, for IE look on the bottom far right and there should be a little 100% icon. Click on that and you can raise the magnification factor on the screen to view web pages.

Mike, big print so you can read. If you hit the control and + buttons on your keyboard the print will get bigger. The more times you hit the + button the bigger it will get, that is assuming you can see the button to turn the computer on :mrgreen:...Ray

You can always use duct tape and look like a computer geek

The bright side is, all your groups will look small.

:shock: well when I first got my glasses 3 years ago , I bought the light weight frames and lenses, only to find out that a small nylon string held the lens into the frames!:cry: when the arm broke the lens said see ya! .. :redneck: I've taking a bread twist tie and some super glue and made some repairs but not a good one!:cry: but I hope the new ones will be here this week!

A few years backI had a set of plastic frames break as I was cleaning the lenses on New Years Day and we were leaving to go on an Alaskan cruise the next day! Thankfully the old glasses I had replaced allowed me to see well enough to enjoy the cruise. I now get the titanium frames that are almost unbreakable and well worth the money.
Finding frames to fit lenses to fit an old frame is almost impossible, they change designs so frequently!
