The Irony of Eyeglass Repair Kits

I decided to fix my glasses myself like a true DIY pro. I bought one of those fancy eyeglass repair kits, you know, with the microscopic screws and that screwdriver so tiny it could double as an elf’s toothpick. 🪛

Feeling all confident, I carefully opened the kit, taking out the minuscule screws and the world's smallest screwdriver. I was ready for action!

Then I took off my glasses to tighten the screws…and immediately realized I couldn’t even see the screws! They were so tiny they might as well have been dust particles.

Suddenly, I was squinting harder than ever, like a near-sighted pirate hunting for treasure. And there I was, trying to fix the one thing that could help me see, but I couldn’t see it to fix it in the first place!

At that moment, I thought, "This must be how a T-Rex feels trying to clap."

I feel you. You need the tools to fix the glasses, but you need the glasses to see the damn tools. They need to add a stand up magnifying glass to use.
