Life’s full of surprises—and sometimes, those surprises happen to your glasses. From missing screws/nose pads to bent or cracked frames and scratched lenses—here’s what can and can’t be done to repair glasses frames with just the right tools and a touch of magic.
No problem. Glasses arms falling off or flopping around can be restored with the right screw from our carefully curated collection of widths, lengths, and threads.
Absolutely! We use specialized pliers and frame heaters to nudge them back to their original form—no contortionist skills required.
Missing or degraded nosepads can easily be replaced. We offer replacements in soft silicone, rubber, or even glass.
We can source replacements and fit them to your frames.

Broken nylons can cause the lens to pop out, and we simply rethread new nylon in to replace the broken one and your lens will sit snugly again.
Sadly, no. Buffing affects the prescription, which means you wouldn’t be able to see clearly—or at all. A replacement lens is the only way forward.
