Professional Help Before You Replace Your Glasses
Broken, loose or uncomfortable glasses do not always require purchasing a completely new pair.
A frame may need adjustment, replacement hardware, careful repair or new prescription lenses. The correct solution depends on the frame material, construction, condition and the type of damage.
Bring the complete pair to our San Francisco store so the frame, hinges, screws, nose pads, lenses and alignment can be inspected together.

What May Be Handled During Your Visit?
Many basic adjustments and minor repairs may be handled quickly, but the glasses must be inspected before service and timing can be confirmed.
| Service Need | Possible Timing | What Must Be Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Loose screws or routine tightening | Often a quick service | Screw size, hinge condition and whether the threads are damaged. |
| Nose pad replacement | May be same day | Pad mount, hardware, frame condition and parts compatibility. |
| Glasses adjustment or alignment | Often completed quickly | Frame material, severity of misalignment and structural condition. |
| Bent or damaged frame | Must be inspected | Frame material, age, cracks, hidden damage and repair safety. |
| Broken hinge or bridge | Additional time possible | Frame construction, extent of damage and replacement-part availability. |
| New lenses in existing frames | Prescription dependent | Prescription, lens design, frame condition, measurements and material availability. |
Same-day service is not guaranteed for every repair or prescription. Call before traveling when timing is important.
Repair, Adjustment or Lens Replacement?
The right service depends on whether the problem involves the frame structure, the fit or the prescription lenses.
Choose Adjustment When
The frame is structurally intact but feels loose, tight, crooked, uneven or uncomfortable.
- Glasses slide down
- One side sits higher
- Temples feel too tight
- Nose pads feel uneven
Choose Repair When
A component is bent, loose, damaged, cracked or no longer supporting the frame correctly.
- Hinge or temple damage
- Broken or missing hardware
- Bent frame components
- Rimless mounting issues
Choose Lens Replacement When
The frame remains suitable but the prescription lenses are scratched, outdated or no longer meet your needs.
- Prescription has changed
- Lenses are scratched
- You want progressive lenses

Lens Replacement in Existing Frames
When a frame is still in good condition, replacing the lenses may be more practical than purchasing an entirely new pair.
The frame must first be inspected for stability, alignment, construction and compatibility with the required prescription lenses.
- Single-vision prescription updates
- Progressive lens options
- High-index lens materials
- Anti-reflective and specialty coatings
- Frame compatibility evaluation
Frame, Lenses and Fit Checked Together
In-person optical service allows the frame condition, lens position and fit to be evaluated before work begins.
