Introduction

Loosened or stripped screws can cause the temples of eyeglasses to become loose. This can occur for a multitude of reasons:

  • Due to a person’s face changing.
  • Due to wear and tear.
  • Due to taking them on and off every day.

This document will detail how to find a loose screw and replace it using the recommended tool kit.
