LightMark is able to offer a same day glasses frame repair service to the public. We are able to repair virtually any metal break including ...

The threads for one of the screws for the lens frame on my eyeglasses is stripped. I was considering using a larger size tap, but I have no idea where I can purchase a tap this small. Can someone advise where I can purchase a SMALL tap or another way to repair the threads?
Footprintz, how much would the fee be to install a self tapping screw?

Why don't you just take it to an optical store. We deal with that every day.

If it is just the screw threads, then it just needs a new screw.

If it is the threads in the barrel, then we have self tapping screws in different sizes to fix that too.

It is a small job for an optician who does that all day, but may become a huge, and expensive job for you.

If you are stuck meanwhile, take a twist tie and remove the covering, then twist the wire through the hinge.

EDIT

I doubt anyone would charge more than a couple of dollars, if at all.

my eyeglass frame is broken.... again. this is my 4th eyeglass in 2 years. My metal eyeglass frame has broken at the nose piece. The lens is not damaged but frame is broken. I will not pay another hundred's of dollar. I have a second eyeglass as a backup but i look like "steve urcle". i need to somehow fix my eyeglass or i will be called steve urcle at work. please help!!!

i heard from some people to get JB Weld. where can i get that? do they have those at home depot or hardware store or something? do i have to buy that online?

any other suggestion?

thx

Go to an opticians office. Most of the smaller offices have repair services. As long as it is not a titanium frame, the frame can be soldered back together. If it is titanium, unfortunately, you will need to purchase new frames.

Do not use superglue on the frame. It will not hold, and it will be impossible to get off of your lenses should it get on them before it dries.

Look in the phone book under eyeglass repair.

Is it possible to get my frames replaced for free? They were supposed to have a Flex bridge, but somehow the bridge still broke in half. Is it possible to have this replaced for free because flex bridges aren't supposed to break.

If not, what are other inexpensive ways to repair my eyeglasses because I can't afford new frames.

If they are less than a year old, most places will replace them under warranty. If they are Flexon from Marchon, it may be two years.
