Eyeglass Replacement Parts

Eyeglass replacement parts can be tricky to find if you need to find specific parts in a rush. While it's smart to keep a kit to replace glasses screws and nose pads, other parts of your glasses can break, crack, or become damaged. If you get up to speed with the parts that could need replacement and learn where to buy the pieces quickly, you'll be better prepared to deal with glasses when they are broken or on the verge of breaking.

This guide to eyeglass parts will help you identify and purchase what you need to fix your eyewear easily.

• End Pieces: These frame extensions go from the front of the glasses to the temples and earpieces. These parts can be replaced provided you have a screw driver and matching replacement pieces.

• Nose Pads: Plastic pads are attached to the frame or pad arms, keeping the frame on the face in its natural position.

• Temple Tips: This plastic coating covers the end of the glasses temples behind the ears. You can find both colored and clear temple tips, and using these pieces will extend the life of eyeglasses substantially.

• Pad Arms: Pad arms hold nose pads and help the glasses stay on the face firmly.

Minor eyeglass repairs can easily be accomplished with a special kit, especially when they occur to the extremities or accessories of the glasses. Use these tips and a classic drugstore repair kit to explore options for home repair before you head to the optometrist. You'll be able to avoid costly expenses this way, especially if you do a little creative legwork first.

• Secure a loose hinge with the special rubber band in your repair kit. All you need to do is slip the band directly over the hinge to keep everything firm and in position. Rubber rings often go unused and unnoticed in an eyeglass repair kit, so have a peek in your kit and see if you don't have a few extra bands in your set.

• Attach metal hinges back onto the frame with an application of quick drying glue or epoxy, which can be purchased at the same drugstore where the kit is purchased.

• Use the tiny screwdriver to tighten the hinges on the side of your glasses. Use the screwdriver to tighten your glasses bit by bit, and try them on after each adjustment to test the fit. If they become too tight, they can cause pressure headaches.

• Replace your hinges on your glasses if one gets lost with the special ones in the kit. The tiny ones will easily take the place of screws lost on standard eyeglass styles.

• Be sure to use the soft chamois cloth packed in your repair kit to keep your eyewear clean and free of dust and debris.
