Jason Kornyk wears glasses because he needs them, not because he’s trying to make a fashion statement. Without them, the east-end Montrealer said he cannot function. “I can’ t drive, I can’t work, I can’t read, I can’t do anything without them,” he said.
But after purchasing a pair of glasses around six weeks ago, Kornyk found himself in a tough spot. “About a week later, they broke,” he said. “It was a malfunction, just a broken piece of metal on the glasses.
It has nothing to do with the eyeglasses place’s fault.” Kornyk contacted the store where he bought the glasses, but was told the glasses couldn’t be fixed because the stores were closed due to COVID-19. “Our government won’t allow us to open,” Kornyk said he was told.
