How We Repair Ray-Ban Hinges — Don’t Toss Your Favorite Frames Yet

Your Ray-Bans are built to last—but even durable frames can develop hinge problems over time. Whether you’re dealing with a loose screw, wobbly arm, or a broken hinge, the good news is: we can fix it.

At All-American Eyeglass Repair, hinge issues on Ray-Bans are one of our most common daily repairs, and we’ve mastered the process.

🔍 Why Do Ray-Ban Hinges Break?

  • Wear & tear: Screws loosen over time with daily use.
  • Accidental damage: Sat on your sunglasses? You’re not alone.
  • Corrosion: Moisture can cause rust or deterioration on metal frames.

🔧 What We Can Do

We offer expert-level hinge repairs for all Ray-Ban styles, including:

🕶️ Classic Metal Aviators – (RB3025, RB3030)

Known for their thin wire frames and teardrop shape, aviators can easily warp or crack at the hinge if dropped or bent.

😎 Wayfarer Acetate Frames – (RB2140, RB2132)

These iconic thick-plastic frames often experience stress at the hinge from opening/closing or improper adjustment.

🧷 Clubmaster Styles – (RB3016, RB5154)

Clubmasters have a combination metal/plastic construction, making them more prone to hinge cracks and barrel separation.

🧳 Folding Styles – (RB4105, RB3477)

Folding Ray-Bans have additional hinge points—each one a potential weak spot if not maintained properly.

Depending on the issue, we may:

  • Tighten or replace screws
  • Install new hinge barrels
  • Laser-weld broken hinges
  • Realign and reshape the frame for perfect fit

Even if your frames are cracked at the hinge, we have micro-welding equipment that allows us to rebuild the hinge connection—no matter how bad it looks.

⏱️ Fast Turnaround, Local or Nationwide

We offer same-day hinge repair at many of our locations. Not near us? No problem—just mail them in. Our technicians will inspect, repair, and return your Ray-Bans fast.

✅ Why Fix Instead of Replace?

  • Cheaper than buying new
  • Keep your favorite frames
  • Eco-friendly alternative to waste
  • We guarantee all hinge work

Don’t give up on your favorite shades.

Prada & Versace Eyewear — Replacing Trim, Logos, and Emblems

Luxury frames like Prada and Versace are known for their bold designs and iconic embellishments. But when those decorative trim pieces, logos, or emblems fall off or get damaged, it can ruin the look of your eyewear.

At All-American Eyeglass Repair, we specialize in restoring the signature details that make Prada and Versace frames stand out.

🧷 Common Emblem & Trim Issues

  • Metal logos peeling off
  • Missing or cracked nameplates
  • Decorative inlays falling out
  • Worn or faded gold trim
  • Detached Medusa logos (Versace)

These features are often glued, riveted, or pressure-fitted into the frame—and many local opticians won’t touch them. But we do.

🛠 How We Fix It

We take care to restore the authentic look and feel of your designer frames:

  • Secure and match missing trim pieces
  • Re-glue or pin original emblems
  • Replace logos with OEM or near-identical parts
  • Polish and refinish faded accents
  • Ensure all hardware is secure and aligned

🧰 Can You Match the Original Trim?

Yes—when available, we use OEM parts or professional-grade replicas. If your model is discontinued, we do our best to recreate the look with color-matched and size-matched hardware that maintains your frame’s value and aesthetics.

📨 Nationwide Designer Frame Repair

Not near one of our locations? No problem.
📦 We offer safe, fast mail-in repair for Prada, Versace, and all major designer brands.

Don’t settle for “good enough” on luxury frames. Let us bring them back to life.

Repair or Replace? What to Do When Your Glasses Break

When your glasses break, it can feel like a mini crisis. But before you toss them or rush to order new ones, ask yourself: Could they be fixed instead?

At All-American Eyeglass Repair, we specialize in restoring glasses that most people assume are beyond repair. And often, repairing your eyewear is faster, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than replacing them.

Here are a few quick things to consider:

💸 Repair is Often More Affordable

Replacing prescription glasses can cost hundreds—even with insurance. Many repairs, like fixing broken hinges or replacing nose pads, cost a fraction of that.

⏱️ Same-Day Turnaround is Possible

In many cases, we can repair your glasses on the same day. And if you’re mailing them in, we offer fast turnaround with shipping options.

♻️ It’s Better for the Environment

Repairing your glasses keeps them out of landfills and reduces unnecessary waste. Plus, you get to keep wearing the frames you love.

🔧 What We Can Repair

  • Broken hinges or temple arms
  • Cracked bridges
  • Missing screws or nose pads
  • Bent or warped frames
  • Popped-out or scratched lenses

Not Sure If It’s Fixable? Just Ask!

Text us a photo or bring them by one of our shops. We’ll give you a free, no-pressure estimate.

“Can My Glasses Be Fixed?” — The 5 Most Common Eyeglass Repairs We Handle

If your glasses are broken, bent, or missing a piece, you’re probably asking yourself: “Can these be fixed, or am I stuck buying a new pair?”

At All-American Eyeglass Repair, we hear this question every day—and the good news is, most eyeglass damage is completely repairable. Whether they’ve been stepped on, dropped, or just worn down over time, chances are we can help.

Here are the 5 most common repairs we handle daily:

1. Broken Hinges or Arms

One of the most frequent issues we see is broken temple arms or loose hinges. We can reinstall screws, replace broken hinges, and in many cases solder metal parts back together.

2. Bent Frames

Glasses get sat on more than you’d think. We specialize in reshaping metal and plastic frames to bring them back to their original fit—without damaging the lenses.

3. Missing Screws or Nose Pads

If your screw popped out or a nose pad is missing, don’t worry. These are fast, affordable fixes we can typically do while you wait.

4. Snapped Bridges

When the bridge between your lenses breaks, it may look like the glasses are beyond saving. But with precision micro-welding, we can bring most frames back to life.

5. Lenses Popped Out

If your lens has fallen out or been scratched, we can reset, reshape, or replace lenses—prescription or non-prescription.

When In Doubt, Send Us a Photo
