You’ve saved enough to buy your favorite type of designer eyeglasses, the highest quality lenses and now because of a small accident your glasses have fallen apart. Should you spend more money on getting new ones or try to fix them? Most of the times, unless the damage is major, repairing your glasses is easier than you can imagine. Here’s a quick guide about eyeglass repair parts that will fix your glasses at a very low cost.

Eyeglass repair kits
These low cost kits make wonders! You can find them online, in drugstores and even in optical stores. They come with an eyeglass screwdriver – a micro screwdriver that opticians use, a magnifier, tweezers, eyeglass screws, nose pads, and in some cases with some rubber rings that can help you tighten your side frame. They work very well when your lens fell off or you’ve lost one of your eye pads.

Eyeglass frame repair
If your side arm of the frame is loose or even fell off, replacing the screws will be the cheapest eyeglass frame repair that will restore your favorite eyeglass frames. Sometimes if one of the parts of the frame is bent or you think you can’t fully repair it, you can also find eyeglass frame parts that you can buy separately and then use them to fix your glasses.

Lens repair
Unless you have completely shattered your lenses to pieces, you can repair scratches and marks with various products that will fix the scratches in your lenses. You can purchase one of the special liquids, various online eyewear distributors offer, or even find it in your local drugstore. You can restore the shine and clarity of your lenses with a low cost repair liquid.

The best advice in terms of eyeglass repair is: Try to avoid having to repair them in the first place, by protecting your glasses with an adequate eyeglass case or chain (for more about these accessories click on the “Eyeglass Cases and Cords” tab above!)
