Argh! That's exactly what happened to me on Saturday.
Specsavers will try to fleece you. I had to pay £5 for the privilage of them fitting another leg that doesn't match! I think she quoted me £15 for a "proper" repair.

I shall beware! Luckily I had a spare set made at the same time as these - yay for two for one offers (but with a frame I decided I don't like). But erk. I was trying to straighten out the leg thing after having bent it, too. :(

Doesn't James work in vision express? Maybe he could help.

Did the hinge material broke or just the holding screw? I used to fix the latter myself.

[abigailb.livejournal.com]

The leg snapped very close to the screw bit. Bit of the leg left attached to the screw - couple of mm or so.

I see. That would require soldering - with a risk that the leg would be permanently stuck to certain position.

i hate it when that happens.
causes all manner of annoyance/expense.

sometimes the little local shops work out cheaper?
- after going to specsavers for years i decided to go to the one just up from me on welford road, out of laziness, and not only did they not charge me at all to put in a screw (I'd lost one) they charged me £20 for a really thorough eye test and said that although my astigmatism had moved round my vision was still legal so not to bother with new glasses.

superglue!

Mine have been glued for, uh, 5 years now!
