Do things right – Hire a professionalWe tend to recommend that patients return to the optical where the glasses were originally purchased for any adjustments. Patients with glasses purchased from our optical are encouraged to come in as often as they would like (with an appointment), and our professional team is ready and willing to do tune-ups and adjustments on their glasses when needed. For many minor repairs and all adjustments on glasses purchased from View Eye Care, we offer complimentary services. More significant repairs or replacement parts out of warranty carry a nominal charge.

Phasecontrastmicroscopeapplication

When wearing glasses regularly, it’s not uncommon for them to break at some point due to rough use or accidents. For example, you might step on them, sit on them, they might have fallen on the floor, or if they are old and worn, they may become more brittle, and even normal wear-and-tear can cause them to become severely bent out of shape, crack or even snap or break. No matter how the damage may have happened, once your glasses become severely bent or broken, it can render them unwearable, which means you either need to get them repaired if possible or replaced.

Phase contrast light microscopes allow translucent or transparent specimens like live cells, cell cultures, and tissues to be seen easily without using stains. The phase-contrast effect that these microscopes feature is achieved by superimposing a circular phase annulus located in the substage microscope condenser, with a corresponding circular phase ring located in the back focal plane of the objective lens. Specimens subjected to phase contrast illumination often appear to be surrounded by halos. If the phase contrast microscope is used with plain white light, the specimens will appear against a gray background, but if a green filter is used in the light's path, they will appear against a green background.

1. You may have limited experience with eyewear repairsPart of fixing glasses involves experience in handling, manipulating, and adjusting spectacle frames and knowing the limits of the material used in making frames. It’s also important to know that there are a variety of materials and quality of materials used to make frames. Certain manufacturers use higher-grade materials which hold up better to everyday wear and tear and manipulations. Others are made to look good but are not as well made or use lower quality materials and craftsmanship, and do not stand up as well to being adjusted and therefore are more likely to break. Knowing which is which and the limitations requires experience.

2. Your mistakes could render your glasses irreparableWhen you attempt to fix your glasses, you are going into it with limited to no knowledge of what to do. So, you might end up making irreparable errors in the process, ruining your chances of ever getting it fixed. If it’s replacing or tightening a screw, the most common mistake you could make is stripping the screw head or sliding off the screw and scratching the lens, or piercing your finger with the screwdriver. When trying to bend a bent or misaligned frame, you could end up breaking the frame. Similarly, when trying to repair a cracked acetate (plastic) frame, people often turn to Crazy Glue or other epoxy glues. Once that is applied to the frame, IF it would have been possible to repair the frame, it now is no longer repairable as the glue cannot be removed. Never, ever glue your frames. If you have a warranty on your frame and you use glue, the warranty will be void.
