You must meet the situations very often if you are an eyeglasses wear, such as the lenses get scratched or the frames become out of shape. Then you must feel uncomfortable, either cannot see very clearly or the frame always falls down. Often you will choose to visit your optometrist to order a new pair, but the cost including the frames and replacement lens really put a dent in your wallet.
In fact, if the problems are not serious, you can have the eyeglass repair by yourself.
Above all, the eyeglass repair on lenses is introduced. As long as your prescription is up-to-date, you may be able to repair the scratched lens by using a polishing kit, which contains a special polish and a soft cloth. The process of the eyeglass repair is quite simple. First, you must make sure the lens is clear and free from dust, smears, and smudges. Then you spray the polish on both sides of the lens and keep the lens undisturbed for a few minutes. Finally, you wipe gently with the soft clothing several times until the polish is completely gone. The glasses repair on the lens is now finished without too much effort and your eyewear is clear again without any light scratches. But if your lenses have deep scratches or gouges on them, the glasses repair may be impossible. Instead, you need to visit your optometrist for the replacement lens.
The following is about the eyeglass repair on frames. It is also better to have a quality glass repair kit, so you can make the general eyeglass repair yourself. The process of eyeglass repair is very easy. The first thing to do is to examine carefully on the frames, if necessarily using a magnifying glass. The problems may be the hinge stretched out or a screw is loose or missing. If you find the hinge is stretched out, you should use the rubber rings in the eyeglass repair kit over the hinge to hold it into place. If you find the screws come to loose, you can simply use a tiny screwdriver to tighten it. But if your frames are seriously damaged, you should go to the repair center for optometrist’s help or buy a replacement frame.
