Parts of Glasses for Eyeglass Repair Are you tensed because of a minor repair in your favorite glasses? Don’t worry. Frames Fashion is all for you Don’t apply direct heat to either of your lenses as this can cause damage to the coatings (a reaction called crazing).

Depending on what material your glasses are made of, scroll below for the best repair methods, materials and techniques you can use to fix them. Spring hinges are an alternative option to using standard hinges for most adult eyeglasses and sunglasses. Disadvantages of a Spring Hinge For acetate eyeglasses frames, the eyepiece is heated until it expands, the lens is snapped into position. I found out that I could perform the operation with a donor from the hardware store sold as a hinge for small wooden crafts. If the arms fit too loosely at your temples: Again, only for metal frames, use the same method used to loosen arms, except apply gentle inward pressure on the corner part of the frames located between the arm hinge and the lens. Repeat on the other side to tighten the fit around your temples.This hinge was chosen because, as you can see with my wife's frames, the 5/8" width is a good fit even though I had to cut the length down quite a bit. Unfortunately, no. The mechanism is quite small and intricate, and repairing it yourself when it is damaged is near impossible. You’ll need to go to an optician or eyeglasses repair company for this. Yes, if your plastic glasses are snapped, they can be fused together using acetone and reinforcement such as adhesive tape or heat shrink tubing. Metal glasses frames are less easily fixed and will probably need replaced if they are snapped at the bridge, hinges or temples (arms). You’d find that the sturdiest one out of them all are the seven-barrel hinges. However, compared to five-barrel hinges, they can be a lot more difficult to adjust and repair.

Run the arms under warm water to make them easier to adjust. Only use water as warm as you can get from the tap. Do NOT use boiling water! Call a local eye care provider today to have a professional adjust the fit and balance of your eyewear — whether prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses, or even that expensive pair of designer shades you just splurged on. The frame front is composed of two eyepieces connected by the bridge, Some glasses frames have single bridge and some have two which generally called aviator frames. The second most common type of hinges that you will encounter are Spring Hinges (or “flex hinges”). These hinges are equipped with a small spring that affords the arms a greater range of movement and does not limit them to the traditional, 90 degree angle. These hinges provide greater comfort for the wearer and are more able to withstand everyday use. Most Spring Hinges are constructed with 3 barrels. These RayBan RX5268’s are a good example of the spring hinge.

Recommendations

When thinking about eyeglasses hinges, there are three key types that you’ll see most often. We’ll go into more detail about each style of hinge below. The Standard Spring Hinge An external spring hinge can be replaced without having to replace the temple, but to do that, a professional will need to detach the original and solder a new one in place. Once the hinge is trimmed, test-fit and cleaned, you can begin to glue the parts together. Even though the glue says it will hold to non-porous surfaces (like plastics) I still like to scuff the area to be glued and I did that on these glasses frames.

Metal glasses frames use soldered hinges which aren’t easily replaced or repaired. For this, we recommend you get new glasses. Your glasses will feel very uncomfortable if your frames are too tight on your temples. On the other hand, if your frames are too loose, it can look and feel a little awkward. If the arms squeeze against your temples: For metal frames, use your nondominant hand to secure the lens of your glasses. With your dominant hand, apply very gentle outward pressure on the corner part of the frames located between the arm hinge and the lens. Repeat on the other side of your frames for a looser fit around your temples. If the left side is higher than the right: Gently bend the right arm down at the hinge or where the arm bends behind your ear. Second, I used a standard BIC style lighter to heat the tip of the pliers' jaws. Care was taken to not heat or burn the plastic directly.While they are great options for these purposes, hingeless designs might not fit as snugly on the nose as glasses with OBE hinges . They are also difficult to repair, as any sort of damage will result in the entire pair of frames needing to be fixed or replaced. What are OBE Hinges In practice, this creates a snug fit that lets you know your glasses are always there. What makes it difficult to fix a loose or missing screw on a spring hinge? Glasses that pinch your nose aren’t just uncomfortable, prolonged pressure can cause headaches or migraines too. How you fix this depends on your frame material. Acetate hinges can be more easily refixed or replaced if they’re held on with rivets. At Banton Frameworks, we offer a hinge repair service for our acetate glasses. If your frames aren’t fitting correctly, it might be easier to adjust your glasses at home than you think. You can fix most common frame problems yourself, but sometimes taking your glasses to an optician is the best course of action.
