Lens keep falling out of the frame because the little screw that clamps the frame together comes loose or strips its thread, I cure this by gently filing the chrome off the frame at the clamp and then solderig the two halves together, BUT, I am very rough at handling my glasses which is why I usually buy two pairs at a time, one pair for in the house, and one pair for use and abuse in the workshop.

I have been searching for a pair of glasses that are ide enough to fit my head and Newton do that. The slight problem is that they are not deep enough in lens size. Otherwise their design is good. Can we not have a "Wider" choice of frames for the bigger man?
-
THE BUILD QUALITY HAS NOW PROVEN POOR AS 2 OF MY 3 NEWTONS HAVE HAD LENSES FALL OUT OF THE FRAME. I HAVE NOT ABUSED THEM AT ALL AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT CONSTITUES FAILURE OF THE LENS FIT BUT WOULD WELCOME ANY OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU COULD MAKE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF IT IS RESOLVED SATISFACTORIY THEN THE OVERALL SCORE WILL OBVIOUSLY IMPROVE SINCE EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE.

My fault really, having chosen bifocals I should have considered the relatively small overall lens size. This has given too small an area for each area of the lens causing the "line" on the bifocal lens to be intrusive. Again, probably because of the bifocals, the spectacles are a little heavy to be perfectly confortable.
