eyeglass lens & frames

[WallyWest]

the small tornilyo slowly unscrewed itself and finally fell away?
bring it to the store you bought it from.
sometimes, the repair is so simple...
they will probably not charge you.
tornilyos are so cheap...

might i inquire,
is the frame a brand name?

It's a no-name but not really cheap half-rim metal frame with plastic temples.

Unfortunately, it's not a simple screw replacement doc. Yung metal frame nito kasi 3 parts that are stuck together. There's the main frame where the "eyebrow" and the hinges are connected to. Ang part na nagho-hold ng lens at nose pad is a separate metal frame na nakadikit (soldered or glued?) lang dun sa main frame. There's 1 such "sub frame" for each eye.

So siguro sa kaka-flex ng frame with daily wear and removal, bumigay na yung adhesive nung sub-frame sa left side. Nag-start pa lang sa corner but I'm sure it will only worsen over time.

No way would I have known na may design flaw itong frame. All I was concerned with was that the temples are plastic due to my allergy to metals in jewelry. To think that I've been more careful than usual with this pair.

dalhin nyo po sa optical.
i suspect, the solution is easier than we can imagine.

for allergy,
go titanium.
"hypoallergenic."

Similar but not the same. Lens issue ang defect. Progressive as well. Somehow they couldn't get it right so they replaced twice in a span of 2 months.

If optical shops can replace progressive lenses I hope they can replace frames (which is cheaper) as well.

I'll give the shop a call tomorrow. I do hope warranty covers the frame.

Hmn, I didn't know that about titanium. Thanks.

Hopefully you get them replaced. If not, change shops. Recently, about 6 months or so, I availed of Owndays' memory metal frames. It's the one that they demo na you can fold and twist and it springs back to shape. Been enjoying them.

They replaced the frame, no questions asked. Fortunately, they still had the same frame brand and model but in black (the one I had was gun metal). Their policy is 6-month warranty with one-time replacement. I hope this replacement is sturdier than the first.

its full frames not rimless. i'm guessing the weight is without lenses.

owndays service is pretty darn good.

owndays service is pretty darn good.

the limiting factor in eyeglasses is the lens.
at times, the establishment has no stock of the required grades, and has to order them pa.
blessed are those with simple grades of their eyes.

the last time i had glasses made, because my old frame got broken,
i brought my old lenses; it took them a few minutes only, to grind them to size and install them in my new frames.
