Normally the repair fails because there's too much stress on too little surface area.

A little trick that model builders use is to drill a small hole in each end and pin it with 1mm brass rod then glue.

The break is where there's a little 1mm wide brass post that locates the nosepad foot into the edge of the frame. It's a weak point in an otherwise good pair of frames (3rd time I've had the same style fail in the same place - this one's lasted a couple of years).
