Eyeglass Repair | Laser Weld Broken Eyeglasses

Most jewelry stores don't own a laser welder because of the cost of the machine is over $30,000 or employ qualified Laser Technicians that will be skilled in fixing your glasses.

Most optical stores do not have the necessary technology to fix broken frames. They can bend twisted frames or reattach screws, but they do not have anything to fuse metal parts together. We get most of our in-store repair customers through optical shop referrals!

Yes. Unlike torch heat, laser welding will not damage the magnets in your clip-ons.

Yes, we have a laser welder that can repair most metal eyeglass frames including titanium.

Yes. If they are metal frames or if the break is at a metal hinge.  

No appointment is needed, just stop in.

Yes! We offer a 30-day warranty. We have a 99% success ratio the first time. We have successfully repaired thousands of eyeglass frames for clients just like you.

Most designer glasses are made from titanium alloys. If the frames are very light and thin, the odds are that they are titanium.

If you visit our store, a repair typically takes 30 minutes. If you mail in your frames and we receive them by Noon, we will have them mailed out by 4pm the same day. We use USPS First Class Mail, which will typically arrive in 3-5 days, depending on where you are located. If you would like to upgrade to Priority (2-3 days) or Express Mail (1-day), you may do so for an additional charge.

Eyeglasses are repaired usually while you wait within 30-45 minutes.

A typical eyeglass repair is $70 and comes with a 30-day warranty.

Yes. However, we need to spend extra time completely grinding off the solder from your frame, there may be an additional charge.

Yes. However, since we need to completely remove the contaminant before welding, there may be an additional charge.

No. We do not have any pieces to supply. If you have the broken pieces, we can weld them!

Plastic frames often have metal hinges, and are usually able to be repaired.

Yes. Laser welds are 86% stronger than a traditional solder bond. This is because laser welding only uses pure gold, silver, platinum or titanium as filler metals, whereas solder uses nickel and copper. Oftentimes, because of the tendency to apply quick spot welds during manufacturing, the laser weld is even stronger than the original frame was!

Yes. Laser welding allows us to join two different metals together, including gold.

For the safety of your frames, it would be appreciated, but it's not necessary. Whether you're sending your case or not, please take care to wrap all items (especially your lenses!) in tissue, bubble wrap, or other packing materials so that nothing is damaged in transit.

Yes. We need the lenses to properly align your frames. No reason to worry, we either will remove the lenses or protect the lenses before we laser weld your frames

No. Oxygen in the flame corrodes and oxidizes the metal causing the titanium to become brittle. The only way to properly repair titanium or titanium alloy frames is with a laser welder in an oxygen free environment with the use of Argon gas.

No, not usually. When fire is applied to titanium, the metal can become too brittle to repair.

No. Most of the time, aside from a very small area around the break of discoloration, the repair is unnoticeable.
