What Determines the Cost of Eyeglass Repair?

Hand holding black eyeglasses with white tape wrapped around the upper frame corner, showing a temporary fix for a broken glasses frame.

Several factors influence how much your eyeglass repair will cost.

1. Time Required for Repair

The complexity of the repair affects how long it takes. Simple fixes may take minutes, while more advanced repairs require additional time and precision.

2. Frame Material

The method we use to restore your eyewear is largely dictated by the chemistry and properties of the frame material. Each requires a different level of heat, equipment, and precision.

Plastic & Acetate Frames

Unlike metal, plastic doesn’t “melt” back together easily. We use specialized chemical bonding agents or internal metal reinforcements (pins) to bridge a break. This ensures the repair is deep-set and won’t simply snap again the first time you put them on.

Metal Frames

Standard metal frames (like Monel or nickel) are typically repaired using high-heat silver soldering. This creates a strong, permanent bond at the break point, which is then cleaned and polished to hide the repair site.

Titanium Frames

Titanium is a premium material that oxidizes instantly when exposed to air. To repair it, we use Laser Argon Welding. This specialized technique uses an inert gas shield to prevent oxidation, allowing us to create a weld that is actually stronger than the original metal without damaging the surrounding finish.

3. Type of Repair or Replacement Part

The complexity of the “architecture” of your glasses influences the final cost. While some fixes are external, others require delicate internal work.

Nose Pad Repairs

These are often the most straightforward. Whether it’s a simple pad replacement or a “conversion” (adding nose pad arms to a frame that didn’t have them), the labor is focused on a small, accessible area, making it a very cost-effective fix.

Temple or Hinge Replacements

The hinge is the most active mechanical part of your glasses. Replacing a snapped hinge or a proprietary temple arm involves sourcing the exact component and ensuring the tension is perfectly calibrated so the glasses don’t feel too loose or too tight.

Structural Repairs

When a frame is crushed or bent out of shape, it requires “frame realignment.” This involves labor-intensive hand-shaping and heat-treating to restore the original geometry. Because this affects how the lenses sit in front of your eyes (your focal point), it requires a high degree of technical expertise.

Example of a Common Repair

A broken nose pad arm is a common issue. Repairing it may involve replacing the pad arm and reattaching it to the frame. The time and technique required will vary depending on the frame material, especially if welding is needed for metal or titanium frames.

What’s Included in the Price?

Most repairs fall within the $39–$69 range. However, it’s important to note:

Additional Costs May Include

  • Replacement parts (e.g., lenses, temples)
  • Specialized materials
  • Complex structural repairs

We always provide a firm quote before starting any work and ensure your satisfaction with the final result.

Fast Turnaround Times

We understand how important your eyeglasses are, which is why we prioritize speed and efficiency.

Repair Timeframes

  • Walk-in repairs: usually completed in about an hour
  • Mail-in repairs: typically completed and returned the same day

Tips for Mailing In Your Eyeglasses for Repair

Blog Overview: 

Are you nervous about mailing your broken glasses? This in-depth guide breaks down the safest ways to pack and ship your eyewear to ensure they arrive safely for professional repair.

The Ultimate Guide: How to Safely Mail Your Eyeglasses for Professional Repair

Sending your favorite pair of Oliver Peoples, Ray-Bans, or Cazals through the mail can feel a bit nerve-wracking. You want to ensure they arrive at the repair center in the same condition they left your house—without any added scratches or structural damage.

At All American Eyeglass Repair, we’ve processed thousands of mail-in repairs. We’ve seen what works and, more importantly, what doesn’t. Here is our expert guide on the best practices for packing, sealing, and shipping your eyewear for a seamless repair experience.

 

 

Step 1: Prepare Your Frames for Travel

Before you reach for the bubble wrap, take a moment to document your frames.

The “Before” Photo

Take a quick photo of your glasses. This serves as a record of their condition and helps our technicians identify the specific break or part needed (like a Persol 714 folding bridge or a Maui Jim nose pad).

The Repair Form

Ensure you have filled out our Online Mail-In Form. Include a printed copy inside the box so our team knows exactly who the glasses belong to the moment they open the package.

Step 2: The “Double-Protection” Packing Method

The goal is to prevent the frames from shifting or being crushed by other heavy packages during transit.

  1. Use a Hard Case – If you have the original hard case for your glasses, use it! If not, any sturdy eyeglass case will do. This is your first line of defense against pressure.
  2. The “Shake Test” Wrap – Wrap your glasses in a soft microfiber cloth or a piece of bubble wrap before putting them in the case. Close the case and give it a gentle shake. If you hear rattling, add more padding inside until the glasses are snug.
  3. The Shipping Box – Never use a padded envelope (bubble mailer) for eyeglasses. They offer zero protection against crushing. Always use a sturdy, corrugated cardboard box.

Step 3: Choosing the Best Shipping Method

When it comes to shipping, “cheap” can become expensive if the package goes missing.

Tracking is Non-Negotiable

Use a service that provides a tracking number (USPS Priority Mail, FedEx, or UPS). This allows you to monitor your frames’ journey to our repair center.

Insurance

For luxury brands like Cartier or vintage Cazals, we highly recommend adding insurance to your shipment for peace of mind.

Speed

Most of our mail-in repairs are completed the same day they arrive. Choosing a faster shipping method (2-day or Overnight) means you get your glasses back on your face even sooner.

Step 4: Sealing for Security

It sounds simple, but the way you tape your box matters.

The H-Tape Method – Tape down the center seam and all side seams of the box. This prevents the box from accidentally popping open if it’s compressed under a heavier package.

Label Placement  – Ensure the shipping label is flat and clearly visible. Do not place tape over the barcode, as this can cause scanning errors and delays.

Pro-Tips for a Faster Repair

  • Include the Broken Parts

If a temple arm snapped off or a decorative screw fell out, include those pieces in a small Ziploc bag. Sometimes we can save you money by repairing the original part rather than replacing it!

  • Clean the Lenses

While not required, sending clean glasses helps our technicians get straight to work on the structural repair.

In Summary

Shipping your glasses doesn’t have to be stressful. By following these best practices—using a hard case, a sturdy box, and a tracked shipping method—you ensure your eyewear is handled with the care it deserves.

How to Select an Eyeglass Repair Shop

Choosing the right eyeglass repair shop is just as important as choosing the right eyewear. Not all repair providers offer the same level of quality, expertise, or service—and making the wrong choice can affect both the appearance and durability of your glasses.

At All American Eyeglass Repair, we believe in educating customers so they can make informed decisions when it comes to their eyewear repairs.

Learn more about our services at All American Eyeglass Repair

Why Choosing the Right Repair Shop Matters

Just like researching a hotel before booking, customers want to know:

  • Is the service reliable?
  • Is the quality consistent?
  • Is the price fair?
  • Will the repair last?

These factors all play a role in selecting a trustworthy eyeglass repair provider.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Eyeglass Repair Shop

1. Laser Welding vs. Soldering

One of the most important questions to ask is whether the shop uses laser welding or soldering.

  • Laser welding provides a cleaner, stronger repair
  • Allows work on more delicate and high-end metal frames
  • Results in better overall appearance

At All American Eyeglass Repair, we use advanced laser welding techniques for high-quality results.

2. Knowledgeable Customer Support

When you contact a repair shop, you should be able to speak with someone who understands eyeglass repairs.

  • Can they answer your questions immediately?
  • Do they understand different frame types and brands?

At All American Eyeglass Repair, our team is trained to provide accurate answers and guidance right away.

3. Original Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

If you own designer frames, it’s important to ask what type of replacement parts will be used.

  • Original parts ensure proper fit and appearance
  • Aftermarket parts may not match perfectly

We carry a wide selection of original parts for brands like Prada, Versace, Maui Jim, Silhouette, and Ray-Ban.

4. Availability of Replacement Parts

A repair shop that stocks parts can complete repairs faster.

  • In-stock parts = quicker turnaround
  • Less waiting time for ordering components

Explore our services and parts availability at All American Eyeglass Repair

5. Price and Turnaround Time

Before committing to a repair, always ask:

  • How much will it cost?
  • How long will it take?

At All American Eyeglass Repair:

  • Most repairs are completed the same day
  • Mail-in repairs are often finished within 24 hours

7 Money Saving Tips When Buying Eyeglasses

How to Get the Best Value on Prescription Glasses and Sunglasses

Everyone wants the best value possible when buying eyeglasses. Here are seven money saving tips when buying top quality prescription glasses and sunglasses:
# 1 – Ask about special promotions.
This may seem obvious but ask about deals when you are getting a new pair of glasses.

Many optical centers and frame and lens makers run price specials or other special offers. They spend big money advertising these special offers. Look at their websites and ask when you are at the store.
# 2 – Use your vision insurance benefits.
Many people fail to use the vision benefits that is part of their insurance package. Most plans afford you significant discounts on quality eye exams and eyewear. Check with your H.R. representative where you work for coverage information or contact your agent.
# 3 – Take advantage of multiple purchase discounts.
Many optical stores offer discounts when buying 2 or more pairs. I just saved a ton of money when I bought three new pair of glasses at one time. Ask about savings on purchasing multiple pairs. Could be a great time to get those prescription sunglasses you’ve always needed.
# 4 – Ask about savings on bundles.
Many times, you’ll save money by bundling lens quality and types, coatings and more. Always ask about bundled or package savings.
# 5 – Understand the warranties.
Premium eyewear often comes with outstanding warranties. They offer better warranties than cheap eyeglasses against lens scratches, frame damage and workmanship. What appears to be a cheap price for eyeglasses may not be the best deal. You may save a few pennies on the front end only to spend dollars over the life of the glasses. Ask your optician about warranties and factor them into your eyeglass purchase decisions.
# 6 – Explore financing plans.
Most optical centers accept credit cards and offer no-interest or low interest financing plans to make quality eyewear affordable to all. Ask your optical center for options.
# 7 – Get them repaired.
Have an existing pair of eyeglasses in need of a little care?  We’ve been repairing eyeglasses and sunglasses since 1987. If your lenses still work for you and all you need is frame repair or cleaning, then visit one of our store locations. You can also mail in your eyeglasses or sunglasses for repair. We’ll make them good as new and we offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee.

The best way you can save money on eyeglasses is to buy the right glasses that meet your vision and lifestyle needs. Go to your local optical center, follow these tips, and you’re sure to receive great value!

How Often Should I Have My Eyes Checked? | Eye Exam Schedule

Recommended Eye Exam Frequency for Children and Adults

Even though we don’t offer eye exams at All American Eyeglass Repair, we’re big supporters of eye health and regular eye examinations.

Many people aren’t aware of how often they should have their eyes examined for optimal vision and eye health.

Here’s what the experts at the American Optometric Association recommend for kids and adults:

For kids, it’s recommended that their first eye exam take place at six months of age, another exam at age three, and again at the start of school. Then, if your child is risk-free, an eye exam every other year is enough.

Please be aware that some states require children to have a current eye exam (by a licensed practitioner within the past calendar year) before a child can start school. Please check with your local school district concerning eye exam requirements.

Kids that wear eyeglasses or contact lenses should have their eyes examined more frequently. Experts recommend yearly.

Certain risk factors may dictate a different examination schedule for your child. Consult with your ophthalmologist. Some of these risk factors include:

  • Premature birth
  • Low birth weight
  • Family history of eye disease
  • Turned or crossed eyes
  • Developmental delays

For adults, the American Optometric Association recommends exams every other year for ages 18 to 60, and annual exams for adults over 60. If you wear contact lenses, it’s recommended that you have annual exams.

Again, certain risk factors exist in adults that may require more frequent examinations. Some of them are:

  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Taking drugs that may have side effects that impact the eyes
  • Family history of eye problems or disease
  • Eye injuries or eye surgeries
  • Occupations that are demanding on the eyes, like data entry or heavy computer work

Eye care is a critical component to your overall health and well-being. Follow the proper eye examination schedule for best results.
