Oculus Reparo?

My glasses snapped in half.

They're plastic frames, broken right on the bridge, so tape isn't really working.

Anyone have any ideas for a temporary fix?

you can use glue and clear tape

I think I'm screwed here, guys.

First you find someone who is into miniatures. Like Warhammer 40K stuff. Ask to use a drop of their modeling glue. Apply glue to broken area and a-fix pieces together. Wait 30 minutes.

This is a temp fix for plastic glasses.

Long term, go to frames retailer and find a new frame that fits your current lenses. May cost $20-$50.

There is also remelting the plastic. Takes a bit of effort but it is a much more permanent fix. I've fixed a pair of BCG's with a soldering iron.

For anyone who does not know what BCG's are..That military lingo for Birth Control Glasses. =P

They're issued in boot to anyone who wears glasses. FML ...can't wait to spend my bonus on corrective surgery. >_>
