Eyeglasses Screw Fell Out – How To Repair Your Glasses

The screw in my glasses fell out! What screw will fit? The arm on my glasses fell off completely. The tiny screw has fallen out. I am not sure if the glasses have a spring hinge or not, but the holes do not line up very well. I can put a tiny wire through the hole to reattach the arm of my glasses. When I use this small piece of wire, it makes my glasses loose so they are not properly aligned on my face. Is there somewhere I can go to get a screw that will fit in my eyeglasses that will fit? I have a pair of sunglasses that are the same way. Please help.
