Don't Keep Wearing Broken Glasses
A cracked lens or a bent frame feels like something you can live with for a few weeks. It usually costs more than the repair would.
Most of the repairs on this page can be done the same day and cost less than people expect. Call before the cheap fix becomes a replacement.
What happens when you put off a repair:
Lenses sitting at the wrong angle strain your eyes and distort your vision.
A bent frame stops holding your prescription where it should be, which means headaches.
Sharp edges and loose parts irritate your skin.
Small cracks spread until the frame can't be saved.

Sunglass Repair in NYC
Sunglasses take the hardest hits: beach bags, car seats, back pockets. We repair the sunglasses we sell with the same care as optical frames.
The sunglass problems we fix most often:
Bent or twisted temples from bags and pockets.
Scratched or delaminating sun lenses that need replacing.
Loose hinges and lost screws.
Stretched frames that slide off your face.
Replacement sun lenses are cut in our in-house lab, including polarized and prescription sun lenses, so most jobs don't wait on an outside supplier. If a pair you bought here has been sitting in a drawer broken, bring it in and we will tell you on the spot whether it is worth fixing.

Eyewear Adjustments for the Perfect Fit
Glasses that don't sit right don't need replacing, they need a proper adjustment. Our opticians adjust frames by hand, on the spot, and it takes a few minutes.
These are the signs your glasses or sunglasses need adjusting:
They slide down your nose when you look down.
They leave marks or feel tight behind your ears.
A new pair pinches or gives you headaches.
They sit crooked in photos and in the mirror.
We adjust acetate, metal, titanium and buffalo horn frames, each with the right technique, because titanium and horn behave nothing like standard plastic and adjusting them wrong ruins them. A proper fit is the difference between glasses you tolerate and glasses you forget you're wearing.
Getting new lenses too? Single vision lenses are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours on weekdays, depending on stock.

Lens Replacement and Scratched Lenses
Love the frame, hate the lenses? We fit new lenses into frames you bought here, cut in our in-house lab. Frame from elsewhere? Call first. We generally don't work on those, and if we do, you assume full responsibility.
Lens replacement makes sense when:
Your prescription changed but the frame still fits perfectly.
Lenses are scratched or the coating is peeling.
You want to turn a favorite frame into sunglasses.
Single vision, progressives, and sun lenses are all handled in-house.
You will know the exact price before we start any work.

Acetate, Titanium, and Buffalo Horn
We carry and service independent eyewear built from demanding materials.
Horn and titanium behave nothing like standard plastic. Horn dries and cracks if it is heated wrong, titanium holds its shape memory and needs specific tools, and both need someone who knows the material. If you bought frames like these here, this is where they get looked after.
Curious about the brands we carry? Visit the collection.
What we work on:
Titanium
From makers like Masahiro Maruyama and Lindberg. Light, thin, and easy to bend out of true.
Premium acetates
Italian and Japanese. Reshaped with heat, not force.
Buffalo horn
Including Rigards frames. A natural material that needs conditioning, not just tightening.
Rimless and combination frames
Drill-mounted lenses and mixed materials, where one wrong turn cracks a lens.
