Your Repair Is Handled by Our Murray, Utah Center for Chicago Customers
We don't have a physical walk-in counter in Chicago yet, so every mail-in eyeglass repair from the city is routed directly to our fully staffed, master-level facility out west:
Your eyewear goes to a real, brick-and-mortar optical center with advanced laser technology β not a third-party processing box. Most orders from across Chicago are completed and on their way back the very same business day they land on our bench.
- Free Shipping Both Ways β absolutely no cost to use our mail-in service from the Loop, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, or anywhere else in the city, and zero cost to return them
- One Price, Told Upfront β no hidden fees or "estimates." You approve a firm, transparent price before we touch your frames
- Same-Day Turnaround β our master technicians finish your frame fixes the same business day they arrive at our main hub
- A Person to Talk To β real, live support tracking your frames from your home to our center and back again, not an automated chat loop
What We Fix for Eyewear Owners in Chicago

If your exact damage isn't listed, snap a photo and send it over anyway β our technicians routinely fix what local retail optical shops claim is impossible.
Lens Replacement in Chicago
We won't buff a scratch out of your lens β that distorts the optics β but we will put a new one in. Lens replacement runs alongside every frame repair we do for our Chicago clients:
- Sunglass lens replacement β including tinted and polarized options
- Prescription lens replacement β 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 Chicago
Beyond structural repair, we also offer full cleaning and reconditioning, available on its own or bundled with any frame repair:
- Deep ultrasonic cleaning β clearing built-up oil, dust, and grime from hinges and hard-to-reach spots
- Sanitizing β a thorough clean of the frame and nose pads
- Tightening & minor hardware care β snugging loose screws and hinges while your frames are on the bench
- Restoring shine β 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 β you'll always get a firm price upfront.

What We Don't Handle for Our Clients in Chicago
To set clear expectations before you print out your free shipping label:
- Scratch removal β buffing out scratches distorts the prescription lens surface. Scratched lenses must be completely replaced elsewhere.
- Frames that have gone brittle β older plastic frames that have dried out or turned chalky from years of temperature swings and sun exposure cannot safely hold a weld.
- Melted or warped frames β acetate frames severely warped by being left on a dashboard or inside a car during a hot Chicago summer afternoon usually cannot be reshaped.
