How to fix broken glasses. Choosing a golden middle

We prolong life with glasses.

Let's just say, separately alternates and towers as spare parts in Russia are almost not supplied. But we found a solution:

There are always glasses that break during transportation, they serve as our donors. The main thing is to choose a suitable fastening. We have two types of replacement. We list both: -"We need a new handle - aesthetic value does not bother". Price -200 rubles For simple fastening and300 rublesfor harednikwith flex mechanism. We put what is suitable on the mount. Will they be beautiful - the question of your luck, but the glasses will continue to serve you faithfully. If you want to appear in them in society - change two, will be the same.Repair time 15-30 minutest, if we have suitable. -"I have designer glasses - a new handle must match them.". Here they definitely change two to be the same. We select from the existing whole and new - donor points, show you and announce the amount. You pay for their full cost, and we put their arms to you. The price beginsfrom 600 rubles and higher.

It is impossible to say that glasses break often, but they still break, and, as a rule, at the most inopportune moment. In addition, glasses are not so easy to replace, because, firstly, it is most often a dioptric, and secondly, we are so used to them that they change their favorite eyepieces, even if old and worn, it seems to us so It is difficult, as, let's say, refuse your daily cup of coffee.

But what if your glasses suddenly fell off the handle? Is it possible in this case to fix them at home? Of course, it is possible, especially if the bolt flew in your handle, connecting the ear part of the rim with a nose, and you did not have time to lose it, and also if you have a miniature screwdriver in the house, and even better special - for repair points or watches .

Unfortunately, most often at a simple ordinary woman there is nothing at hand and in risen. Not trouble, you can go to another way. A hole for a bolt remains in the bow of the rim, for which you can fix the fishing line (this kind is usually enough in every home). If the hole broke, it is easy to drill a new one or, at least, without dragging into it, simply tie the line to the protrusion remaining on the site of the junction of the arrangement and the nose of the rim. Memore approximately centimeters twenty fishing line and to another end of her end, they bind any little loaded. Now we take a fishing line with a load instead of a broken alignment (or a mead, if both damaged) for the ear or the ears - and please, this device keeps the nasal part of the rim no worse than the "native" mead.
If you are unpleasant that there is a thin fishing line on the ears, you can, before tie the ship, put on her an ordinary beverage tube, which for a penny is sold in any food store. These tubes have a special "harmonica" for bending, as if specially invented for the design of self-made glasses.

With loads, too, you can also move. Of course, the ordinary nut is the easiest way to solve the problem, but not the most aesthetic. Therefore, in the form of a loading, rare pebbles with holes, so-called "chicken gods", key chains, various parts from jewelry and other decorations (for women), and so on, can be tied in the form of a load.
It is difficult to argue that the resulting points will be the same elegant and comfortable, what they were before the breakdown, but they are quite possible to use them.
True, there is an even easier way to solve this problem - attribute glasses in the workshop, especially if you live or work in Moscow. Workshops on repairing glasses in the capital a lot, and they are most often located right near the subway (it is only worth paying attention to it). Do not worry, such a repair, as a rule, takes no more than fifteen minutes, so you will have only a quarter of an hour early to get out of the house or return home the same way to pick up renovated glasses (if you do not like to wait or breakage pretty complex).

But after that, your glasses will again become new, you will not find any flaws in them. Moreover, most often in the workshop at the same time, all other flaws, for example, in the case of one broken handle you will be checked and the second, so that Ribrava serves you faithfully and the truth from a dozen years. Well, it is worth such repairs to the extinguishing trifles ...

Points - often a constant attribute modern manwho has to spend a lot of time at a computer, because not everyone has the opportunity and the desire to wear contact lenses. However, glasses are not only people with poor eyesight; It is also a pretty stylish accessory, and sunglasses, waiting in the hour, lie on the shelf almost from everyone.

Whatever glasses - for vision correction, perforated, sunscreen, decorative without lenses, expensive brand or cheapBought in the market for a hundred rubles - they have a property break. Ribbed robbed, but also broken lenses are not uncommon. How often do we sit on the sofa and suddenly hearing an unpleasant crunch? This crunch suggests that it is time to buy new glasses.

Very sorry! Maybe it's not too late to fix everything? If, for example, to figure out what glasses consist of and how to fix them yourself?

Design of glasses

The main element of any glasses - lenses made of glass or plastics. Lenses are inserted in the frame to which using hinges Hands are attached, or hassiness. The hinge has a fixed part fixed in the frame, and the movable, welded to the metal core of the tow and fixed in its plastic part. In some models, instead of hannikov, a tape or gum cover is used.

The jumper between two lenses is called "bridge", or we transmit, and plastic or silicone bearings protecting the bridge From a strong pressure of the rim, - the noseporates, which, like the arms, are attached to points with the help of hinges. The presence of noseofers is characteristic of heavy metal points, while plastic glasses are quite lungs and do not have such pressure on the nose.

Any element of glasses design can break, but especially often the breakdowns are susceptible to the "bridge" and places of frames of rims with arms (and nucleoprases, if any).

How to independently fix the transfer?

1. Temporary repair of "Bridge" with paper and glue

Good news: even a child can cope with such a task! It is necessary only find superciles (suit "moment") And glossy paper, which in color is not very different from the rim (however, can be played in contrast).

The paper should be chopped into thin strips and gently wrap it with it to the desired thickness, not forgetting to miss glue. Before applying a new layer, you need to wait until the old dried.

Glasses are ready! Now you can safely reach the trip to the repair specialist.

Also a rather interesting way. It will take a small saucepan or a bowl with boiling water and a pin.

At first, it is necessary to melt plastic, for which the ends of the "bridges" are formed during the split, are descended as close as possible to boiling water. When the ends softenedYou need to insert a short pin into one of them (you can "pinch a piece of pins part of the pin), and then put another end on it. The resulting gap should be smoothed by hand until the plastic froze. Glasses like new!

3. Professional repair "Bridge"

This method is essentially similar to the previous one, however requires more attention, accuracy and diligence. In addition, you will need various tools:

In the ends formed during the split, the ends need to drill two holes with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a depth of 5 mm, then top and bottom to drill Through holes with a diameter of 1 mm. With the help of a cutter, form grooves between two upper, as well as two lower holes. In the hole with a diameter of 1.5 mm, pour glue and insert a steel wire with a length of 9 mm. Shoots to lubricate with glue and connect. Correct the design with the help of nichrome wires passed through the upper and lower holes. Holes and grooves to pour glue, after drying to polish sandpaper.

How to replace the lost screw?

1. Temporary repair of the hinge

Make a temporary repair of a hinge, which will make it possible to wait for a campaign to a specialist, you can with the help of toothpicks, wires, pins or a caprony fishing line.

Rim and handcraft glasses align relatively each other So that a hole in the hinge is formed into which the toothpick is inserted (or that it will come from the list presented). The extra part of the toothpicks must be cut, the wire is twisted, and the Kapron Lope is to melt the lighters or matches in the flame.

2. Repair of a hinge with a flex

Flex mechanism is used locking a meek glasses In a certain position, it is very convenient for those who have a non-standard head size! Unfortunately, such a wonderful device has a serious disadvantage: the screw from such a hinge is very difficult to insert into place.

The fact is that between the two parts of the hinge there is a movable plank, which when the screw is dropped, draws inside the arms. To pull the barIt is necessary to fix the handguard (for example, with the help of vice) and, by one hand holding the rim and drawn with a needle or scolding the bar, screw the screw into the hinge. The first time may not work, but do not give up! Several attempts - and ready.

How to independently adjust the arms?

Sometimes it happens that after a long wearing In a bag or short-term unsuccessful contact with something heavy glasses, it seems to be not broken, but still wearing them are not very convenient: put on the ears, the nose or, on the contrary, they constantly hang out and slide. The reason may be wounded in the wrong adjustment of the arrangement and nose-support.

  • To check whether the nose-absorbers are regulated correctly, you need to put glasses on smooth surface and compare their position relative to each other. To change the height of planting glasses, the noseoporas should be moved (if the points need to lift) or push out (if you need to omit).
  • If the glasses are humbered or dangling, you need to hold hasshes in hot water Or heat them with a hairdryer, and then straighten or, accordingly, bend stronger. It is necessary to act carefully, so as not to melt the arms and do not break them. This method is suitable for plastic frames. Wire rims are easily bent with small pliers.

With the help of non-hard tools, you can successfully fix the above-minded glasses or adjust the rim for the greatest comfort.

People with reduced urgency vision is difficult to do without corrective fixtures: glasses or contact lenses. The latter are not suitable for everyone, so many still use points. However, glasses are a rather fragile accessory that requires a careful relationship and proper care. Even if the breakdown is observed - not uncommon. In this case, the first thought is to appeal to a specialized workshop, but you should not hurry, because many damage can be eliminated independently. In the article we will tell you how to repair points at home and at minimum cost.

Causes and types of breakdowns

To main reasons, breakdowns of points include wear due to long-term operation and mechanical impact. Glasses break from falling, squeezing, rough relationship.

The most frequent problem is the weakening or loss of rim and alignment screws. Tightening the screw usually does not cause difficulties, however, how to fix the alignment of glasses if the item is lost? The breakdown of the hinge mechanism is also not a rare case. She arises due to the careless disclosure of the forehead or if the glasses randomly sat down. The cause of breakdowns of metal rims is most often squeezing. Accessory without a case should not be in your pocket or bag. Plastic rims of rather fragile and often suffer from drops from height. The reason for the loss of glasses is the mechanical deformation of the rim, and scratches on the surface of the lenses arise from ignoring recommendations for the care and operation of glasses.

The answer to the question of how to fix the glasses with the aforementioned breakdowns, you can find below.

Necessary materials and tools

Repair points will require the use of the following materials and tools:

  • Set of clock screwdrivers or renovation set. Cottles in glasses are tiny, and pick up them with an ordinary screwdriver will not work. If the appropriate tool was not found, you can use a thin knife, but care should be taken, so as not to break the notches on the hat.
  • Floors and Passatii. It will be useful to be more convenient to keep the rim and trim over the wire.
  • Scissors.
  • Little hammer. They can be used to split the lower part of the screw in order to avoid its weakening in the future.
  • Glue. The choice should be stopped on a quickly solidified glue, suitable for gluing the rim material.
  • Electric soldering iron.
  • Clip, wire and pin pins. We will be needed to strengthen damaged rim places and to replace lost or broken parts of the hinge mechanism.

  • Small grade sandpaper. It is useful for polishing a renovated part of the rim and arms.
  • Fishing fishing line 0.3 - 0.8 mm. It will be needed for repairing semi-cable frames with a torn or weakened fishing line.
  • Durable thread.
  • Transparent nail polish. The renovated and protected part of the rim can lose the shine, the nail polish will return to him the primordial appearance.
  • Scotch. It is useful to protect the lens from glue.

Replacing the lost screw

How to fix the handbook of glasses if she fell off? The cause of the problem can be a revealed screw holding a rim. Well, if the item was not lost, then it is easy to return to the place, gently tightening a screwdriver or knife. To continue the trouble, it is not repeated, you can split the bottom of the screw with a small hammer. If the miniature tool was not found at hand, you can use the usual hammer and metal rod.

However, how to fix the glasses if the screw is lost? In this case, you can try to replace the screw to the new one. In the sets for the repair points such details are. You can also use the screw from the old calculator or electronic hours. If the new item is a little wider than the old screw - not trouble. Careful force you can cut a new thread. This method is also suitable for repairing points with torn thread or wear out due to long-term operation of glasses. Surplus the length of the new screw is removed by pliers and spawned.

Often the question arises: how to fix the glasses at home, if there was no suitable screw at hand? In this case, you can replace it with a pins with a flat or small round head. The pin is inserted into the mounting hole, the lower part is cut and sprinkled.

Repaired similarly points do not lose functionality and will serve for a long time.

Replacing the screw in glasses with flex

Flex is a mobile plank, which allows the glasses to open by 160 degrees, in contrast to the usual mechanism, where the arms are open at 100 degrees. Glasses with flexia do not squeeze the head, so they are comfortable in the sock. Consider the alignment of points with such a mechanism is extremely harder than ordinary.

When there is no screw in the mechanism with a flex, the movable bar is drawn inside the arms. As a result, the holes do not coincide, and the screw cannot be spinning. The bar is easy to return to the necessary needle position, but then it will be incredible to screw the screw. In this case, you can use fine silk thread, traveled through the open hole. The thread should consolidate the mechanism in the open state and tighten the screw. Next thread cut off. The remaining piece will not interfere with the functionality of the glasses.

To make such a repair with the replacement of the screw on the pin is even easier. The thread will not need, and the phlection can be pulled out by the edges of the pin. Next, the pin is cut and sprinkled. The renovated area gets neat and inconspicuous.

Breakdown of a hinge mechanism

How to fix glasses if a hinge mechanism itself broke? Repair starts with a neat removal of a damaged part, it is important not to spoil the frame. For these purposes a file is suitable. When the surface is aligned, proceed to the manufacture of a replacement part. The copper wire of the suitable diameter is passed through the remaining whole loop of the mechanism and bend in the form of the Greek letter of Omega. Next, parts are connected and with the help of the soldering iron heated the wire, gently pressing it into the softening plastic to the full immersion. Thus, a solid connection is obtained. When the wire cools, the place is primed and aligned. You can disguise the repair suitable in color nail polish.

Unfortunately, this method of repair is suitable only for plastic frames.

Repair of plastic rim

Many are faced with a problem: how to fix the rim of the glasses to repair the repair is not too noticeable? It is easiest to repair the rim from plastic. First of all, it is necessary to protect the lenses from hitting glue. It mainly concerns the polymer lenses and lenses with coatings from highlights, with glass glue is easily removed by a solvent or liquid for removing varnish. Scotch is suitable for these purposes. They are covered with a lens around the perimeter. It is desirable not to touch the center of the optical surface so as not to damage its properties.

The next step is missing the ends of the rim and the place of fault by glue, insert the lens and fixed tightly. The glue is grabbed in a couple of minutes. Up to complete drying, you will need to wait about a day. For more dense fixation, you can wind the glasses with a solid thread. After complete drying, the excess glue is removed.

When the glue is completely oxide, proceed to strengthen the location of the breakdown. To do this, you will need a stationery clip or bracket. The clip is bent like a bracket, leaving ends 1-2 mm long. If the work is performed with the bracket, its ends are shortened. Next, with the help of tweezers, hold the bracket over the place of breakage, heat it with a soldering iron and gently bete into plastic frames. After cooling, the place is primed by fine-grained emery paper and masked nail polish.

How to fix glasses with broken me?

The procedure is similar to the repairs of the rim. Initially, the place of fault is fixed with glue. In order for the connection to be dense and did not move during drying, use the design of two wooden planks and stationery. After complete drying, the excess glue is removed, and the fault location is additionally strengthened with a metal bracket. Similar repair is almost invisible and does not spoil appearance Points.

Foreck breakdown in a semi-cable frame

In such a rim, the lens holds on one side of the frame, and on the other - the fishing line. The glasses look more elegant and weigh less. However, this design is less durable than the classic frame of the rim. Most frequent breakdown It is a break of a fishing line, holding the lens from below. Is it possible to repair glasses with similar damage? As easy as pie! For repair, you will need a new fishing line of a suitable diameter and a little patience. Leske can be purchased at any fishing gear store.

To begin with, remove the old fishing line. This usually happens easily, but if the end of the fishing line is stuck, a needle or a thin sequel can be useful. A new fishing line is inserted into the purified hole, it hosted its end and neatly fixed into the hole. The holes for the fishing line make cone-shaped, from the inside they are already than outside, which allows you to fix the fishing line without a protruding edge. Next, insert the lens and tightly fix it with a fishing line along Facet. The edge of the fishing line is passed into the hole, cut it and melt it, refueling the end into the cone of the hole. If the melted ends of the fishing line protrude, they are neatly cut by the blade. After repair, glasses look like new ones.

How to fix glasses with a broken metal rim - the question that occurs often, because without welding it is difficult to do here. Metal rims are usually very thin, and no glue will keep quite firmly. In this case, the following method is suitable.

The essence of the method is to fix the lenses to the rim with glue. The lens is covered with scotch across the perimeter to protect against glue. To clean the ends from the scotch, you can use fine-grained emery paper. Glue is applied to the end of the lenses and insert into a rim, tightly fixing the design. When glue grabbing, the points should be wrapped with a solid thread and leave until complete drying.

After a day, you can delete fixing and protective materials And clean the glasses from excess glue. If you work carefully, the repair will be almost impaired.

Lenses from rim

The cause of linses from the rim is most often the weakening of the screw fixing the rim, or its deformation. In the first case, it is enough to pull the screw, and in the second it is necessary to return the rim of the original shape.

With a metal design work the easiest way. It is enough to fix it in the vice and slowly exacerbate in the right direction. In order not to damage the coating of the rim, a piece of soft tissue or skin should be used.

Before working with a plastic rim it should be heated. It is best necessary to heat the boiling water saucepan. Hot couple soften plastic and make it softer and plastic. Next, the frame is returned to its initial look.

The cause of linses of the semi-coded rim is most often the weakening of the fixing fishing line. In this case better decision Will be a replacement of the fishing line for a new one.

  • If you are not sure about your abilities and are afraid to irrevocably spoil the accessory, it is better to contact the workshop where you can fix the glasses.
  • Remove glue from glass lenses with acetone. However, for polymeric materials, this method is destroyed.
  • It is possible to smear the chips and cracks in the frame, prepare a mixture of glue and ordinary food soda. Such a "putty" will reliably hide a defect, and after complete drying it can be stabbed.
  • Masking traces of repair can be suitable for nail polish color. The surface will be again smooth and brilliant.

Compliance with non-good points for glasses will allow them to last longer, without breakdowns and damage.


Points are a fragile thing that requires a careful relationship and care to avoid pollution and breakdowns. Most often require the repair of the hinge mechanism of the forehead, dropping lenses and cracks in the frame.

1. Be sure to store glasses in the case.
2. Wipe the glass of points you need a special soft cloth, and not a napkin or a pea skirt.
3. Do not forget that glasses on the surface must be put only by lenses up, otherwise they can scatter.
But still it happens that the mechanism of glasses can break. To begin with, examine the breakdown, its reason. If the problem is not very serious, then use some tips how to rear glasses Alone.

1. If the rim is loosened.
It is necessary to put the screws with manicure scissors. If he continues to constantly turn out, then drip on the screw a drop of transparent nail polish, or a synthetic glue, and then screw it back.
2. If there is a glass of glasses on the site of the rim fastening.
Take a sticky transparent tape, impose it into place of damage in 2 or 3 layers. After that, make a needle puncture on the tape, then set the glass and secure it with wrenches.
3. Right glasses broke in half.
In the edges of the seasy, drill a small hole, inside the P-shaped bracket from the steel wire. Then you need the ends of the brass from the outside.
4. If the screw is lost from the rim of the glasses.
The screw can be replaced by a cape rivet. Place the tip of the kapron fishing line on the match of the match (the thickness of the fishing line is about 1 mm). Wait when the resulting droplet is freezed, and then in the jack of the screw insert the resulting crashes. Place the end of the thread from the socket in the same way.
5. If the plastic frame burst.
If frame is made of celluloid, it can be easily glued with self-made glue. It is possible to prepare it like this: dissolve plastic debris, for example, from the old comb, in acetone or liquid to remove varnish to the consistency of thick cream. Apply the resulting mass breakage. After some time, the procedure must be repeated again.

Now you know How to rear glassesat home. But there are cases when the points need to bear the wizard. The most common method of "treatment" of glasses is laser welding.
