Acetone will dissolve superglue.

 

Unfortunately, it also defats skin. Hmmm.... glued to your head.

 

See where I am going with this?

Seems to me that theres not much going on inside that head.

Pics of the daughter?

I think I am having a bad couple of days .

 

Yesterday I broke both my pairs of glasses, one pair I broke the hinge on the side piece, the other pair the frame holding the lenses in place snapped.

 

I don't want to buy a new pair for a couple of weeks (just paid daughter's university tuition fees), and local opticians couldn't repair them or fit the lenses to a new frame, so this morning I repaired the side piece by making a  splint from a milk carton straw, reinforced with a piece cut from a yoghurt spoon handle, wrapped in micropore tape, and then filling the joint with super glue.

 

It resulted in a pretty solid repair. 

 

Unfortunately I have now superglued my spectacles to my head!

🤣🤣🤣 Seems like you have at least saved your sense of humor!!

 

if you can't afford a pair of glasses? sounds like you have a bigger problem than being unable to buy a pair of glasses, maybe that problem needs addressing and everything else will fall into place.

Excellent I hope your day gets better.

You made mine a happy start, reading this with my morning coffee!

I would do the same as a temporary solution. Can always find those around in outdoor markets. They won't have very clear or sharp lenses, or last very long, but good for a short usage period. 

I used only 100 baht Thai glasses from stalls for years. I have to have prescription now as I have different focal lengths in each eye.
