I ordered a pair of half-frames from Zenni. One of the nose bridge
pieces broke after about two weeks, and Zenni was kind enough to send
me a replacement frame, but told me to swap the lenses from the broken
frames to the replacement frames myself. However, I am a little
unclear as to the best way to accomplish this; The lenses are held in
place with nylon line, and I don't know if using force is the answer
to installing the new frames. Does anybody have experience replacing
lenses in frames such as these?

I suppose I could drop the whole thing off at my local eyeglass shop,
but I'd feel funny about doing that, since I didn't purchase the
glasses there. I'm not a big fan of Zenni for making me do this; I
would've preferred to mail them my broken glasses and have them swap
the frames themselves, but oh, well...

help!
