Eyeglasses: Removing tiny screw fragment.

Ok, I thought I was clear and ready to repair these sunglasses myself but I was wrong. I sent them in to repair in Italy and was told I needed a new frame which is about the price I paid for them. No go!! I decided to order the legs and try to make this happen myself. The problem is that there is a tiny- and I mean tiny screw fragment still stuck on the frame and I can't re-attach the new leg. The picture I'm providing is from an iPhone 4 so the quality isn't the best, but you get an idea of what I'm dealing with. I would appreciate any suggestion. ;o)

Eyeglasses: Hinges are way too loose.

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 05:20:26 -0700

I got this new pair of aviators and the arms I think (part that goes over your ear) have zero resistance. So they flop around and open when I’m not wearing them or when they’re on my shirt. Some glasses have arms that lock or click into either closed or open, and some just have a lot of friction that holds them somewhat to their position but mine is just loose and frictionless. Not a big deal, but it’d be nice if it could be tighter. There’s a small phillips screw on the hinge of each arm but I tried tightening it and it won’t budge. Do they come all the way tightened? Thank you sunglasses experts.

Ampere Dusk: How to open this thing?

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 04:09:41 -0700

Hello,

This is a device from Ampere's IndieGoGo campaign. It is a great device, but one or more glasses lose tinting capabilities in about a year. Ampere was kind enough to replace the first one, but after a year, the replacement is now dead, too.

I've contacted Ampere about a manual to fix it or any guidance how to open the device without breaking stuff, but they refused citing "propriety reasons." Now, I'm stuck with not one but two not-so-smart sun glasses that does not block the sun.

I'm inclined to perform a surgery on one of them but I'd like to learn more about how to open one without breaking. Do you guys have any ideas, or guides?

Best regards
