If you have a broken frame and want to know if it can be fixed feel free to bring your frame to us or contact us on Twitter, Facebook, Google +, via our website or phone us at (403) 474-6744.Mark Birdsall is founder and editor of Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine - the world’s only independent newsstand publication devoted to intelligence and its numerous elements. We don't want to leave you high and dry (and visually impaired)! We will always work with you to find a solution no matter what the situation is and no matter where you bought the frame. There are going to be situations where you might come in with a frame you bought elsewhere or even one you got from us that cannot be repaired because the parts are no longer made. If you went to get same sweater there would be a good chance it's not made anymore). Often a frame that is only 1 or 2 years old is 'old' in the frame world and may have been discontinued (much like if you bought a sweater you really liked and two years later it ripped. It's also important to keep in mind that 'old' is relative. We don't carry discontinued frames and all of our frames come with at least a one year warranty for manufacturer's defects (meaning don't run it over with your car and expect the manufacturer to replace everything at no charge but anything reasonable is covered). Please don't do this. I would much rather you didn't have to pay for your repair and I bet you'd rather not pay either.Īt our office we really, really hate it when a frame breaks and we can't get parts anymore because it's been discontinued. If you have a warranty on your frame and you use super glue the warranty will be void. For a progressive (no line bifocal) it's essentially impossible to reuse the lens without cutting off the reading portion and having the lenses sit at the wrong height, angle and distance between the eyes resulting in terrible vision at all distances, distortion and eye strain. ![]() The frame chosen also needs to be the same size and shape or smaller in order to insert the lenses and this often restricts you to frames that don't actually fit you well. In the process of cutting a lens down and putting it into a new frame this is unlikely to line up properly and will lead to poor vision and eye strain. Lenses are set into your frame in a very specific way so that the optical centre of the lens lines up with your pupil. Sometimes when a frame breaks people wonder if they can use their same lenses in a new frame. ![]() We generally need to see the frame to know if we can do a quick repair, whether we need to order in parts or if the glasses are a lost cause.īefore I mention some common breaks and what we can and cannot do about them here are some things we cannot do and some things you shouldn't do. The first question everyone asks is "Can this be fixed?" The answer is frustrating because it really depends on what type of damage has happened. No matter how it happened you have an issue because you need those things to see. I always recommend that people have a back up or spare pair of glasses for situations like this but I know from personal experience that glasses seem to break at the worst possible time and usually when you don't have a spare pair. It's possible you stepped on them, they fell onto something hard, the dog ate them or they were just getting old and snapped. If you wear glasses chances are you've been in the nasty situation of having your glasses break.
