So I can't see myself needing a bit of kit for removing them. When they include a thingy I can use for popping them back in again, call me! ;o)The upsychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345558899662051670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-26589923367022691512011-02-27T16:20:45.149+00:002011-02-27T16:20:45.149+00:00As I really had to know the answer, I popped into ...As I really had to know the answer, I popped into Specsavers whist I was in town today. This is what they told me;<br /><br />They usually remove these from the box because it's not something you would expect a customer to use. <br /><br />The nylon wire can be passed up the side of the lens, where there is a groove that will allow it to go all the way round.<br /><br />The ribbon is then attached and pulled around the edge of the lens to remove it. <br /><br />Simple when you know how!Barry Sampsonhttp://barrysampson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-89283306342338195182011-02-25T12:50:55.878+00:002011-02-25T12:50:55.878+00:00This might help .

In the ehow to repair eye glasses they talk about using masking tap over a set of pliers so you don't scratch the lenses and then suggest using a safety pin if you have lost the screw. Perhaps the "tape" is to use on a utensil as you repair the glasses and the clear "thread" is to use in place of a screw (put it through the holes and tie it off).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-33926210184984543262011-02-25T11:13:16.433+00:002011-02-25T11:13:16.433+00:00@Pam Only I don't see how that would work.
