We have all been there, whether your baby reached for your glasses on your face and stretched their arms, or you sat on them while getting comfy on the couch. Breaking glasses is a common annoyance, and we are here to help you out.
Our dispensers at Capital Eye, your optometrist in Canberra, can perform minor maintenance or repairs to your glasses. We have spare screws and nose pad replacements that can fit most frames, even if you purchased your frame from a different source. Temples, or frame arms, can often be heated and bent back into shape to ensure they are comfortable to wear.
While metal frames are robust, sometimes they can break at the bridge (the metal piece between the lenses). We can send this frame to a lab interstate that can solder the frame back together.
If your frames are beyond repair and you purchased them from us, we have the frame details on file. In some instances, we can order you the same frame and fit your original lenses into the new one. In other cases, if your frame is in good shape, but the lenses are scratched, we can reorder new lenses and fit them to your original frame. Sometimes, we can deliver new lenses within one business day.
While we do our best to repair frames as quickly as possible, we always recommend having a spare pair of glasses (even if it’s an older pair) to use while your current pair are ”out of action”.
The Bottom Line
If your glasses are in dire need of attention, give us a call. Most of the time, it is more cost-effective to fix your glasses. If you require an eye examination with your optometrist in Canberra, you can book online at your earliest convenience. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
