My eyeglasses arm fell off and i lost it.?

Question

Can I bring it in and have them put two new arms on the glasses?? Or would it be cheaper to get new glasses???

Answer 1

If money is a problem, sometimes, you can scavange the old "arms" off another pair of glasses and make them fit, but they need to be fairly close to the same style/color, or it looks goofy. (This works better for wire frames where the arms all look pretty similar). Sometimes you need to file the parts slightly to get the hinges to fit.

Answer 2

probably get new glasses. look out for a sale

Answer 3

If you are in a bind and can't do without them until you can get a new pr. take them to a mom and pop (locally owned) optical dispensary that has a lab preferably and its a good bet they will have a spare temple that will fit.  Most large optical chain stores like lens crappers will try to sell you a new pr.  I get a lot of new patients that will come back and buy from me just because I repaired their specs at no charge.  Good luck
