He should probably get metal frames if he’s yanking the arm off consistently

He’s yanking them off by grabbing the left temple and tilting out and right before the right temple slides off his ear, which is weakening the hinge. Eventually *snap*.

He needs to stop removing them by pulling at the most obvious grab point with one hand

The optician in me would just put one of the remaining temples on the opposite side and bend the end down so he would have two working pairs of glasses.

22yo is not a kid anymore… and maybe if they always break the same it’s not the glasses fault😅

He clearly doesn’t buy his own glasses.

I’m just really curious why these all still have the lenses in them. Wouldn’t it be way cheaper to get the lenses put into a new frame, instead of getting new glasses all the time?

Either the glasses are too cheap or he needs to change a behavior.

Boy loves to sleep one sided with his glasses on doesn’t he?

If he isn’t already, time for him to start buying his own glasses. Then he might be more careful in how he takes them off.

Falls asleep while laying on his right possibly due to the way the couch is facing in the living room while the tv is on in the evening leading well into the night before waking and realizing its time to go lay down in bed for the night. At that point, “The Clark Kent” maneuver.

Falling asleep with them on?? To much pressure on that side??

You mean How your 22yr old always breaks his glasses.

I had a friend growing up who kept breaking glasses just like this. It wasn’t from taking them off on one side though, it was because he slept in them and always laid on the same side. His thinking was that it was easier than trying to find a pair of glasses that you can’t see without your glasses.

Life hack for the future, he can just get the frames without a prescription If his vision hasn’t changed, pop old lenses out and into the new frames, cheaper that way.

Your 22 year old isn’t a kid. Maybe if mom stops bugging him glasses he’d learn to not break them

Start making him pay for his own glasses if he is not already. One of the more surefire way of making people take better care of their things is if they are financially responsible for them
He should grab them by the front of the frame to remove them, not the arm.

Same with mine, same side. Ended up jb welding the ear piece back on, been good for months. Lol

It’s funny that someone would notice this break pattern on 4 pairs in a row and just think “huh, that’s interesting”
Ziffim89 on
Mine break the same way or did i learned that the pressure of the arm would always bug my ear give me headaches etc. so I would constantly try to correct it and would always end up breaking them so I switched to perscription Googles tgat have a elastic band instead of arms.
redheaddomination on
Ah, I have three pairs just like this -__-
I have been able to fix a few pairs like this by buying an eyeglass repair kit. If it’s just the small screw that’s missing, you can put the arm back on. Doesn’t work if you snap the base though

peacelovecookies on
In 40 years of wearing glasses I have only broken one pair, and that’s because I fell asleep with them on (wire frames) and one earpiece and part of a frame got so bent they couldn’t be saved. I was so mad at myself because I always tried not to do that. And because I really liked those glasses and they were relatively new. My parents beat it into my head that glasses *HAD* to be taken care of because they were an expensive item. And at 18, when I started paying for them myself, I was doubly triply careful. I never even get the replacement insurance because I know I’ll be so careful with them I won’t need it.

Get them glasses with flexible temple joints.

So many people on here either don’t have kids, or hate their kids.
Your kid is always your kid no matter age.
Also they didn’t say the parent was paying for the glasses.
And even if they are, there are a multitude of reasons why they decided as a family that this is how they want to do things
That being said, they sleep with them on. They have springy metal frames that you can twist into a circle and they won’t break.
