Common Frame Failures and our Solutions
Since glasses including sunglasses are made of delicate materials, they will eventually wear out. Our Professional service can repair any glasses frame damage and restore it back to its original condition. Now let’s take a look of what are common failures of glasses frames and how we fix them.
Broken Hinges Repairs
Hinges can be quickly loose and broken which renders the spectacle unusable. Hinges are amongst the most common problems affecting glasses frames. Constant opening and closing will cause screws to loosen, metal to fatigue and even hinge to snap completely. Hinges connects the temple arms to the front of the frame, that way, even a small error could cause discomfort. Professional broken hinge repair typically involves replacing damaged screws, installing new hinges, or welding the existing hinge back to its place. For plastic frames repairs we have more sophisticated tools such as laser welding or reinforced bonding techniques which both of them often used to restore the original stability without affecting the appearance of the glasses.
At Opto Glasses Repair, we quickly and easily repair all kind of hinge failures with a great speed and customer satisfaction. We usually repair hinges at the same day.
Cracked Plastic Glasses Repairs
Cracks in plastic glasses often occur at bridge, lens rim or hinge are. If left untreated, these cracks will lead to a total break of your glasses. Usually cracks are so tiny that so many people ignore until it breaks altogether. Our modern tools with experienced technicians, we use optical grade adhesives or laser welding technology to patch out damaged area. After the process, the repaired section is polished to restore original look. In most of the cases, repairing a cracked plastic frame is more economical than purchasing new frames.
Bent Metal Glasses Frame Straightening
When stored incorrectly or dropped, the metal frames usually bent. Even minor bending could cause misalignment which will cause headache, double or blurry vision and discomfort. In order to restore bent metal glasses, we use precision optical tools that realign the bridge, temples or arms, and lens rims to original state. This repair process is delicate; it ensures proper fit, equal weight distribution, and precise optical alignment.
Also we use special care to your titanium and memory metal frames, which need controlled heat and experienced hands. A Professional approach is a must; it will ensure the correct alignment without causing stress or weakening the frame structure.
Loose Glasses Temple Arm Repair
A loose temple arm can make glasses uncomfortable to wear, especially when they no longer sit properly on the face. Sometimes the glasses may sit unevenly, slide down or feel loose behind the ears. This can happen for several reasons, including worn screws, damaged hinges or general frame damage.
To fix the problem, we usually tighten or replace the screws, adjust the hinge tension and carefully realign the arms. Getting the right fit is important, as even a small adjustment can make a noticeable difference. If the hinge is too damaged, replacing part of it may be the best option.
Glasses can become loose or damaged in different ways, and not every repair is the same. Getting the issue sorted early can help prevent further damage and make the glasses comfortable to wear again. Sometimes a small repair is all that’s needed to get them back in good working condition.
