Odd request: Eyeglass Screwdriver?

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have an eyeglass screwdriver? You know one of those tiny little things to tighten up the frame on glasses?

I went to put on my prescription sunglasses on the other day, and one of the lenses fell out. It still has the tiny screw there in place, but it looks like its a bit loose. I was able to put the lens back in place, but it is just a matter of time before it falls back out again.

If you have one, and I could borrow it for like 2 minutes, that would be awesome! I can meet you anytime in the Square or else at Joe Sent Me on Thursday if you are going to be at the meet-up.

Edit: Since I don't want to leave you all in suspense, CVS, $1.99 ($2.09 with tax).

Most any optometrist will tighten those for you if you just walk in, usually without charging anything. Or at least that's what I've found. You might try that place on Highland, can't remember the name.

You can get them at most any drug store register display for like $2.

Do you know how little these cost? You can get an "eyeglass repair kit" at any drugstore for $1.99. Then you'd have it for next time.

Like CVS has them? I did not know that. Cool, I'll pick up one today at lunch!

Thanks. :)

YAY A HAPPY ENDING!

I also have a set of jewelers' screwdrivers, which cost me something like $7 at Home Depot or Tags or somewhere. But the CVS 1.99 thingie has helped me (and others) out of many a jam.

This.
I think CVS generally sells them up by the cash registers.

I got one once at REI, it meshes / stores beautifully into the corkscrew piece of my swiss army knife.
