Your Repair Is Handled by Our Columbus, Ohio Center for Charlotte Customers
Charlotte doesn't have a walk-in storefront of its own yet, so every mail-in repair from the Queen City is routed directly to our fully staffed, master-level facility on the mainland:
Every pair we receive is handled inside a genuine, staffed optical center equipped with advanced laser welding tech, not routed through a nameless warehouse. Most Charlotte orders are finished and shipped back the same business day they arrive.
- Free Shipping Both Ways β there's no cost to mail your glasses in from Uptown, South End, Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, Ballantyne, or anywhere else in Mecklenburg County, and no cost to ship them back
- One Price, Told Upfront β no vague estimates or hidden add-ons. You approve one clear, guaranteed price before we start any work
- Same-Day Turnaround β most repairs are wrapped up and back in the mail the same business day they reach our bench
- A Person to Talk To β a real person is tracking your frames the whole way, not a chatbot running through a script

Lens Replacement in Charlotte
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 Charlotte 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 Charlotte
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 Charlotte
To set clear expectations before you print out your free shipping label:
- Scratch buffing 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 heat and humidity 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 Charlotte summer afternoon usually cannot be reshaped.
