Our experienced team is here to help restore your eyeglasses so you can get back to seeing clearly in LaGrange, Oxmoor, Carrollton and Springhurst.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Glasses?
The first step in dealing with broken glasses is determining whether you should repair them or if replacement is the better option. Our professionals at Gaddie Eye Centers will assess the damage and provide honest advice on the best course of action. Sometimes, a quick fix is all that's needed, but in other cases, the damage may be beyond repair, making a new pair of eyeglasses necessary.
It can be tempting to try and fix your glasses at home using DIY hacks you’ve found online. However, these methods often do more harm than good, leaving your frames in worse condition or voiding any warranty you may have. Materials like glue or household items can damage your frames further and leave residue that’s difficult to remove.
Common Eyeglass Repairs We Handle at Gaddie Eye Centers
Broken Temples
A broken temple (arm) might just need a missing screw replaced — a quick and easy fix. However, if the hinge is broken, it may require a more complex repair.
If your frames are still in production, we can order a replacement temple. We can often make temporary fixes for discontinued models to keep your glasses functional until you receive new frames.
Broken Bridge or Temple
If your glasses break at the bridge or temple, repair options depend on the material. Metal frames can often be soldered back together, but titanium or plastic frames typically cannot be repaired this way. We can special order replacements to restore your glasses if parts are available.
Missing or Damaged Nose Pads
Missing or broken nose pads are a common issue that’s easily fixed. Our optical repair centers keep a wide variety of nose pads in stock, allowing for quick replacements. If the metal piece holding the nose pad is damaged, it can often be soldered back together.
Bent Frames
Bent frames can be a nuisance, causing your glasses to sit crooked on your face. Over time, normal wear and tear can warp your glasses, but our opticians can usually straighten them out with a simple adjustment.
Scratched Lenses
Scratches on your lenses are inevitable, but they don’t have to mean the end of your glasses. Light surface scratches can often be polished out, while deeper scratches may require replacing the lenses. At Gaddie Eye Centers, we can restore your vision clarity affordably by inserting new lenses into your existing frames, saving you the cost of purchasing new ones.
