Laser Welding Glasses
Laser welding glasses repair is one of the most sophisticated methods used in glasses repair. This precision technique allows damaged metal frames to be repaired without compromising frame sturdiness, alignment, and wearer comfort. Unlike traditional solder method, laser welding delivers concentrated heat only to the specific point, making it ideal for delicate eyewear repairs. We repair glasses of all type, including metal and alloy metals, which are laser welding compatible.
Laser welding is generally being used for broken bridges, cracked rims, snapped temple arms and frame damages where strength and precision are critical.

What Is Laser Welding in Spectacle Repair?
Laser welding in glasses repair uses a focused laser beam to fuse metal frame components at atomic level. This process creates a strong bond with minimal heat dissipation to near, protecting surrounding areas like lenses, coatings and nose pads.
We prefer Laser welding fort his scenarios:
- High value prescription glasses
- Thin and lightweight metal frames
- Frame alignment repairs where accuracy is important

Types of Glasses Suitable for Laser Welding
Laser welding is one of the most used methods to fix broken glasses frames. However not all glasses are suitable to this technique. Frame material, and damage location are important factors for decide to use laser welding. Usually metal alloy glasses are the most ideal for laser welding. Its structural properties can tolerate the high temperature easily.
Titanium Glasses Frames
Among other metals, titanium frames ae the most compatible metal for laser welding technique. High powered laser can create a strong bond in the cracked area and leaves a little or no residue at all after the process. Here are the most common laser welding requirements:
- Cracked bridges
- Snapped temples
- Nose pads arm cracks
Due to its lightweight and hypoallergenic properties, titanium frames are one of the most popular glasses type in the UK.
Stainless Steel Frames
Stainles steel frames are also widely being used in glasses frames due to its strong nature. It also can be repaired with laser welding technique. Since its respond well to laser welding, steel frames often being repaired by laser welding. Stainles stell glasses repairs can be welded without any sign of repair. Here are the most common failure types of stainless steel frames which are easily fixed by laser welding:
- Hinge repairs
- Bridge repairs
- Temple repairs
Since stainless steel glasses frames are polished, we use precise tools to preciesly locate the cracked area and apply laser welding carefully to rule out any stain.
Alloy and Mixed Metal Frames
Depending on the exact composition, the metal alloy glasses frames can often be laser welded. These types of glasses usually found in mid range glasses. Generally we found these types of failures which are being corrected by laser welding:
- Bridge cracks
- Hinge cracks, seperation
- Structural cracks
Glasses Not Suitable for Laser Welding
It’s important to note that plastic, acetate, horn rimmed and full resin frames are not supported for laser welding. These materials melt when encounters the concentrated heat source rather than creating bonds. There are other alternatives for these kind of materials. This glasses repair requires different tool and approach. If the material is metal or alloy, we can also laser weld rimless glasses.
Common Laser Welding Glasses Repairs
Laser welding is being used in glasses repairs due to its high precision and stainless process. It can be generally used in the following malfunctions below:
- Broken bridges
- Snapped temple arms
- Cracks near hinges
- Rim fractures
- Structural cracks
Each repair can be fully done via laser welding. This way, the original look of glass would be fully preserved.
Benefits of Laser Welding for Glasses Repair
These are the most popular reasons we use laser welding:
- No solder marks
- Minimal heat spread
- Strong repairs
- Safe for metal frames
For metal and metal alloy glasses, these factors above contributes its popularity across the UK.
Laser Welding Glasses Repair Cost in the UK
The cost of laser welding glasses depends several factors including frame material, damage severity, and repair techniques. Generally, laser welding repairs are much more affordable than complete replacement. A Professional analysis is made usually beforehand to determine if the laser welding is the most appropriate one.
