Can anyone tell me the name/location of a place in Sosua that I can go to get the arm reattached to the frame (screw came loose and fell out). I just need a new screw. I keep meaning to ask my favorite bartender but for some reason I keep forgetting.

The last time I was there either Dollar Store in Cabarete or Sosua sells a small repair kit for eyeglasses which includes a few screws.

If you can't find the kit, what I've done is to wrap the hinge with heavy thread then dope it with some SuperGlue(aka Coqui in the DR). You can't fold your glasses, but they stay on. If you can find shrink tubing, it's even better. Just use a lighter to make it shrink. Small safety pins will also work if you can fit it through the hinges. What's worse is if the screws holding the nose pads fall off.

The hinges themselves can also fail, and then you need someone to braze on a new one.
