A very common frame type and often suitable for replacement lenses, subject to the frame being structurally sound.
Many plastic frames can be re-lensed. We check for brittleness, cracking, distortion and general condition before proceeding.
These frames use a retaining cord or similar system and need lenses prepared specifically for that design.
Rimless glasses require accurate drilling and mounting, so frame condition and lens material selection are especially important.
Wrap, Oakley-style and other specialty frames can require different lens curves, fitting methods and prescription considerations.
Prescription inserts can also be fitted with replacement lenses where the insert and prescription are suitable.
Bring in loose, crooked, uncomfortable or damaged glasses for assessment. What can be repaired depends on the frame material, component and extent of the damage.
In some cases existing lenses may be transferable to another frame, but this depends heavily on lens shape, size, prescription positioning and the destination frame.
Safety eyewear is different from ordinary glasses. The frame and lenses work together as a certified protective system, so the complete pair must be selected and manufactured appropriately.
