Lens Replacement in St. Petersburg, Florida
We won't buff a scratch out of your lens — that distorts the optics — but we will put a new one in. Lens replacement runs alongside every frame repair we do for our St. Petersburg clients:
- Sunglass lens replacement – including tinted and polarized options
- Prescription lens replacement – available at select locations
- Replacement for scratched, cracked, or clouded lenses
- High-quality replacement lenses cut to match your frame's original fit and appearance
Lens replacement is quoted alongside your frame repair, so you get one firm price covering both instead of two separate bills.
Cleaning & Reconditioning in St. Petersburg
Beyond structural repair, we also offer full cleaning and reconditioning — available on its own or bundled with any frame repair:
- Deep ultrasonic cleaning – clearing built-up oil, dust, and grime from hinges and hard-to-reach spots
- Sanitizing – a thorough clean of the frame and nose pads
- Tightening & minor hardware care – snugging loose screws and hinges while your frames are on the bench
- Restoring shine – polishing away dullness and light surface buildup for a like-new look
Cleaning and reconditioning is priced separately, whether you send it in on its own or add it to a repair — you'll always get a firm price upfront.
What an Eyewear Repair Costs for St. Petersburg, Florida Residents
Luxury & Designer Brands
$55–$120
The price you are quoted online is exactly what you pay. We review your photos, give you a solid price for your repair, and only proceed once you give us the green light. Lens replacement is priced separately from frame repair and depends on lens type and prescription — that's part of the same upfront quote.
What We Don't Handle for Our Clients in St. Petersburg, Florida
To set clear expectations before you print out your free shipping label:
- Scratch buffing — buffing out scratches distorts the lens surface. A scratched lens gets replaced instead, not buffed.
- Frames that have gone brittle — older plastic frames that have dried out or turned chalky from years of intense Florida sun exposure cannot safely hold a weld.
- Melted or warped frames — acetate frames severely warped by being left on a dashboard or inside a glove box during a sweltering Gulf Coast summer afternoon usually cannot be reshaped.
