Newer pair of glasses nose pad keeps falling off because the newer screws are shorter than the old ones. Paid about the same price for them to cut corners off a few MM in the screws.
I brought a pair from Zenni Jan 2023, and no issues with the nose pad ever coming off. Because of new eye prescription and I had to get new glasses, so I went with the same pair. Got that pair in July 2025, didn’t have any problems til recently, the nose pad screw have completely unscrewed off. The first time it happened I didn’t think much of it. The second time it happened I realized the screws from the old and new are not the same.
Old screws
A. 2.3241 mm = .0915 in
B. 2.3241 mm = .0915 in
New screws
A. 2.2225 mm = .0875 in
B. 2.2479 mm = .0885 in
Difference
A. .1016 mm = .0004in
B. .0762 mm = .0003in
I wanted to save some money so that why I went with Zenni, but after this experience I don’t want to deal with them anymore. Got any recommend for a brand that doesn’t cut corner? If I have to pay more to avoid enshitification so be it.
Luckily for me, I’m had experience on servicing a mountain bike before so that I know what a bike should look like. I could’ve done a better job by adding the disc brakes and rear derailleur. But I couldn’t be bothered to since illustrating on a phone screen is tough :/.
