4 Quick Eyeglass Repairs to Make Your Eyeglasses More Comfortable

For many people, the struggle is real when it comes to keeping their eyeglasses comfortable. From slipping and sliding to nose pinching, people are living with uncomfortable eyeglasses that could be easily repaired/adjusted by All American Eyeglass Repair.

All these repairs are simple and can be done in under an hour. Most run from $39 to $69.

# 1 – Loose Frames

It can be quite annoying when your glasses sit too low on your nose. You’re constantly pushing them up and after a full day, that can become a pain in the you know what.

At All American Eyeglass Repair, we can easily and quickly tighten loose eyeglass frames, so they fit your face properly. Plastic or wire frames, it makes no difference. We can fix them.

# 2 – Loose Temples

The temple (or the arm of the frame) can become loose and make your eyeglasses droop down on your face. Although there can be a variety of causes for this problem, loose temples are often the culprit. We’re experts at diagnosing and fixing these issues and can do so on wire or plastic frames.

# 3 – Too Tight, Especially Around the Nose

Eyeglass frames can also be too tight, making them uncomfortable and even causing headaches.

Oftentimes, we can fix this problem with a simple adjustment to the nose pads on your eyeglass frames. We caution against trying this yourself. You’d be amazed at the number of eyeglass frames we see each year with defective nose pads due to attempted repairs by an owner. Although we do it quickly, repairs of this nature require an expert touch.

# 4 – Frames Are Bent, or Sit Crooked on Your Face

My friend Brian has a bad habit of leaving his Maui Jim sunglasses on his car seat when getting out of his car. And yes, you guessed it. Brian returns to the car, hops in it and sits squarely on his sunglasses. The result? A bent frame or temple.

At All American Eyeglass Repair, we fix bent eyeglass frames or temples. And sometimes frames need adjusted to their proper balance to sit properly on your face. Come into any of our locations or mail your eyeglasses to one our national repair centers near you. We guarantee our work and most repairs cost between $39 and $69.

Eyeglass Repair Tips for Emergency Repairs

I was traveling recently for business when I stumbled. My glasses fell off my face and my lens popped out of my rimless frame.

As I’m the kind of guy to turn disappointment into opportunity, I decided to share 3 of my favorite temporary fixes for common eyeglass repairs. Here they are:

# 1 – Lens pops out of a rimless or semi-rimless frame

Get a piece of ribbon and loop it around the monofilament. Use the ribbon to pull the monofilament aside so you can partially slip the lens back into the frame. Keep sliding the ribbon down the length of the monofilament, which will place the monofilament into the grove along the edge of the lens. When the monofilament is completely in the grove, pull the ribbon free.

# 2 – Lost screw on the hinge

Use a paperclip. Open it up and feed one end of the clip through the hinge, and then bend it below the hinge so the clip can’t fall out. Use a wire cutter to trim off the excess paper clip. You can also use a bread tie and twist so that it is tight. Please never use glue.

# 3 – Loose hinges on your frames

A great temporary fix for this problem is small rubber bands. Slide one up each arm of your glasses until the rubber band rests in the V-shaped gap between the frames and the arm.  The rubber bands serve to pull the arms tighter against the temples.

These are good temporary eyeglass repairs. For more permanent solutions, come see the experts at All American Eyeglass Repair. We have 17 locations around the country, and you can mail us your glasses for same day repairs.

3 Tips to Keep Your Eyeglasses from Fogging Up in Winter

Foggy lenses are a common complaint during wintertime. It’s annoying. And it can easily be avoided.

Eyeglasses fog up in the winter because the cold lens meets warm air. You’re outside in the cold, you come inside to the warmth and your glasses fog up. That’s because water vapor in the air turns into a liquid when the temperature changes, and that liquid clings to your lens.

Sure, you can always wipe away the condensation. You can also take these actions to keep fogging from happening in the first place:

1. Use eyeglass lens materials less prone to fogging. Polycarbonate and plastic lenses resist fogging. Anti-reflective treatments often include a coating which resists water, fogging and smudges. Also, sport sunglasses and snow and ski goggles contain venting to prevent fogging.

2. Clean your glasses. Dirt and smudges give condensation something to cling to, so keeping your eyeglasses clean is a tactic to prevent fogging. Some store-bought lens cleaners use an anti-fog solution.

3. Get your frames adjusted. Frames that sit too close to your face prevent the air from circulating properly.

Never use hot water as this could damage your lenses. And avoid all types of household cleaners like vinegar, ammonia or commercial surface cleaners, as these will damage the treatments on your lens.
