Repairs and service
Glasses repair and service
Do your glasses slip, press, sit crooked after a fall or have a loose screw? Bring them to the salon. We will check whether adjustment, cleaning, a small part replacement or workshop repair is enough.

We check the cause
We assess whether the problem comes from frame position, worn parts, lenses or a change in vision.

No home experiments
Do not use glue or hot water, force-straighten frames or heat them with a dryer. It is easy to crack material or damage lens coatings.

Symptoms
When to bring glasses in for service
Come in if the frame is loose, glasses slide down your nose, press behind the ears, sit crooked after a fall or lenses do not align evenly in front of your eyes. It is also worth visiting when nose pads harden, a hinge resists movement or glasses start creaking.
Do not wait until a small looseness becomes a crack. In many cases, a few minutes of adjustment improves comfort and protects the frame from bigger damage.
- glasses slipping down the nose
- pressure behind the ears or on the nose
- crooked frame after a fall
- loose hinges, screws or nose pads
Scope
What we can repair or adjust
We adjust frame position, shape temples, replace nose pads, tighten and match screws, clean hard-to-reach places and check whether lenses sit securely in the frame.
If an element is cracked or badly worn, we assess whether it can be safely replaced. For more serious damage, we will say clearly when repair makes sense and when a new frame is better.
- bridge and temple adjustment
- nose-pad and small-part replacement
- frame and hinge cleaning
- assessment of whether the frame is safe to keep wearing
In the workshop
What service looks like in the salon
First we inspect the glasses and ask what exactly bothers you. We check frame symmetry, hinge movement, nose-pad condition, lens seating and how the glasses sit on your face.
After adjustment, you put the glasses on again. Only then do we assess whether pressure is even, the image is stable and the frame does not slip with head movement.
- inspection of frame and lenses
- adjustment with optical equipment
- try-on after every change
- care and storage recommendations
Before visiting
What not to do yourself and when to start with an eye exam
Do not force-straighten frames, glue hinges, use hot water, heat plastic with a dryer or use window cleaners. These attempts often make repair harder or damage lens coatings.
If the glasses fit well but the image suddenly became less clear, your head aches, night vision worsened or you need to hold your head differently, the problem may require an eye exam, not only adjustment.
- do not use glue or tape on hinges
- do not immerse glasses in hot water
- do not heat the frame at home
- do not clean lenses with aggressive chemicals
Want to check whether your glasses can be repaired?
Bring them to the salon of your choice. We will assess the frame, adjust it on site or recommend the safest repair option.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for adjusting glasses?
No. Adjustments and minor repairs, such as tightening hinges, straightening the frame or fitting it to your face, are a free service done on the spot.
What should I do if my glasses break?
Bring the whole pair to the salon together with any broken parts, screws and nose pads. We will assess whether a repair makes sense or a new frame is better. Don't use glue, hot water or a hairdryer, as it is easy to crack the material or damage the lens coatings.
Can my old lenses be moved to a new frame?
Often yes. If the lenses are undamaged, they can usually be moved to a new frame without another eye exam.
Can I put new lenses into my old frame?
In most cases yes, as long as the frame is in good condition: the plastic is not cracked and the hinges are not loose. We will check it in the salon.
My glasses fit well but I see worse. Is a service enough?
Not always. If your vision suddenly became less sharp, you get headaches or see worse after dark, you may need an eye exam rather than an adjustment. We will check your glasses and suggest the next step.
