Spectacles can be repaired and we are more than happy to look at them. You local high street opticians should be more than happy to look at your frame, assess the damage and suggest a course of action. You should be able to drop in, get your spectacles assessed and repaired where possible. Sometimes your frame might just need an adjustment, a new screw or a spare part.

Sometimes opticians can repair your frames or sunglasses whilst you wait. No need to send your spectacles by post to get them repaired. A professional technician can fix almost all types of broken frames - and save you the unnecessary expense of buying new frames! Opticians can also replace lenses for your spectacles or sunglasses.

Any frames and any parts of any spectacles, metal or plastic can be repaired. It doesn't matter of what construction and it doesn't matter who made them. Typical jobs are repairs to solders, joints, cords, pads & arms, screws and barrels.

A good technician will be able to repair titanium, stainless steel, acetate, horn and even wood. There are not many repairs that have not been done before and most components tend to be available from stock, if not they can be custom made.

Any good height street optician should carry out the most common repairs and adjustments including:

* Frame adjustments
* Fixing broken frames
* Nose pad replacements
* Temple tips replacements
* Tightening and replacing screws
* Fixing spectacle lenses

As always, regular maintenance and prevention is better than a repair of your spectacles. Use both hands when putting on and taking off spectacles. Keep your frame in a spectacle case when you are not using them. Visit you optician on a regular basis to maintain your frames and glasses to a good standard as damaged glasses can affect your vision and may cause eyestrain.
