Eyeglass frames go through a lot with daily wear, accidental drops, and the occasional misplacement. Over time, you may notice they are not fitting quite right or starting to show signs of damage. But how can you tell if a simple repair is enough or if it is time to invest in a new pair? At Krystal Vision, we are here to help you understand the pros and cons of repairing versus replacing your eyeglass frames.
 

Signs Your Eyeglass Frames May Need Repair

In many cases, simple issues can be resolved with a quick repair. Consider fixing your frames if:
 

• Screws are loose or missing: These can typically be tightened or replaced in minutes.
• Nose pads are worn or discolored: Replacing nose pads is easy and inexpensive.
• Arms are bent: Minor adjustments can restore fit and comfort.
• Lenses are still in great shape: If your prescription hasn’t changed, repairing the frame might be the more cost-effective solution.

Our team at Krystal Vision offers professional repairs that can extend the life of your favorite frames, especially if they have sentimental value or are no longer in production.
 

When to Replace Your Eyeglass Frames

While repairs are ideal in some situations, there are times when replacement is the better option:
 

• Frequent breakage: If your frames are constantly breaking, they may no longer be structurally sound.
• Outdated prescription: A new prescription often calls for a new pair of lenses—and possibly a new frame to match.
• Poor fit or comfort: If your frames slide down your nose or pinch your temples, a new pair can provide a better fit.
• Visible damage: Cracks in the frame or broken hinges beyond repair indicate it’s time for an upgrade.
• Style preferences: Fashion trends and personal style evolve. If your current frames no longer reflect your look, a fresh design can boost your confidence.

Think Long-Term: Comfort, Function, and Style

Choosing between repairing or replacing your frames comes down to balancing cost, function, and aesthetics. At Krystal Vision, our optical experts can evaluate your glasses and offer honest advice based on your needs.
