Your Repair Is Handled by Our Columbus, Ohio Center for Detroit Customers
There isn't a walk-in storefront in Detroit yet, so every mail-in repair from the city is sent directly to our fully staffed, master-level facility in Columbus, Ohio:
Your frames are handled by a genuine, staffed optical center running advanced laser welding equipment, not passed along to a third-party drop box. Most Detroit orders are wrapped up and on their way back the same business day they arrive.
- Free Shipping Both Ways — there's no charge to mail your glasses in from Midtown, Corktown, Greektown, or anywhere else around Detroit, and no charge to ship them back
- One Price, Told Upfront — no add-on fees once the work starts. You see one guaranteed number and approve it before we touch your frames
- Same-Day Turnaround — most repairs are wrapped up and back in a shipping box the same business day they reach our technicians
- A Person to Talk To — a real team member follows your repair the whole way, not a chatbot reading from a script
What We Fix for Eyewear Owners in Detroit

Don't see your exact issue on this list? Send a photo anyway — our technicians routinely repair damage that retail optical counters call a lost cause.
Lens Replacement in Detroit
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 Detroit 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 Detroit
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 Detroit Residents
Luxury & Designer Brands
$55–$120
Whatever number you're quoted online is the number you pay — no hidden add-ons later. We look over your photos, land on a fair price, and get started only once you give the go-ahead.
What We Don't Handle for Our Clients in Detroit
To set clear expectations before you print out your free shipping label:
- Scratch removal — buffing out scratches distorts the prescription lens surface. Scratched lenses must be completely replaced elsewhere.
- Frames that have gone brittle — older plastic frames that have gone rigid and brittle from Detroit's freezing winters and years of wear cannot safely hold a weld.
- Melted or warped frames — acetate frames severely warped by being left on a dashboard or inside a car during a hot Detroit summer afternoon usually cannot be reshaped.
