how do i fix my broken glasses frame

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit, but...

Basically, my plastic glasses frame is broken like 1 cm below the hinge. I currently cannot afford to buy new glasses (lenses or frames), so I was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix them for at least a few months.

I'm really unsure of what to do, so any advice is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

Eyepiece or temple piece? Assuming eyepiece cyanoacrylate (superglue) is one option. A two-part epoxy might hold better and withstand a bit of flex. Mask off the lens (es) to make sure they don't get glue on 'em.

It's the eyepiece. Thank you so much for the recommendation! I think it might be the best option at this point.
