Everyone is right...they sell little eyeglass repair kits at most drug stores. I've even seen them at the check-out at some grocery stores. Don't lose that screw though. The screws in those kits seldom ever fit in your frame - they are usually either too big or too small. But sometimes, you can get a screw in there to hold it temporarily until you get to your eye doctor's office to have them fix it. I've seen people put thumb tacks through the barrel to hold them together. I've also seen some people use a twist tie to hold it shut...Necessity is the mother of invention!
Whatever you do - DON'T SUPER GLUE the screw in the frame or try to glue your lens into the frame. You will ruin the frame and no one at your doctor's office will be able to fix it!!!

Check in your local drug store or even discount store. Look for the displays of over the counter glasses that simply magnify. There will also likely be glasses holders that go around the neck to hold glasses on, etc. Frequently there will be sets of eyeglass screws in this same display.

Just go to your local drugstore and at the checkout counter (if not there you can ask) they will sell a repair kit for under $2.00.
The kit includes a mini screwdriver and extra screws. Or, you can use the end of a tweezers.

You don't even need the kit, just don't lose the screw and take it to an optical, they won't even charge you to screw it back in, but like the girl above me said, don't glue it, then we can't do anything for you.

Buy an eyeglass screwdriver at Wal-mart, K-mart, Walgreens, Eckerds, CVS, etc.
It will cost you about $2.00 at most or $5.00 for a set.
