What Questions Do You Have?

Before performing the repair, we can most likely remove the glue and decontaminate the metal. If the glue contamination is extensive there might be a fee for cleaning the frames. Once we see your eyeglass frame we will contact you with an estimate for the cleaning.

Solder must be filed or sanded off to get to the clean metal of the eye frame. The cost for cleaning off solder ranges from $10 to $25. Once we see your eyeglass frame we will contact you with an estimate for the cleaning.

Titanium frames come in the same styles as other metal frames. The difference between titanium and other metal frames is that titanium is a highly reactive metal that requires special treatment. On titanium frames, the laser weld must be done inside of an Argon chamber to prevent oxidation during welding.
When customers come to us for repairs to titanium frames, it is often at the end of an extensive search. Many opticians don’t have or know about the specific equipment required to do laser welding in an Argon chamber. We have that equipment.

Titanium can nearly never be repaired with a torch since the oxygen needed for the flame corrodes and oxidizes the metal. We can only recommend a Laser repair inside an argon gas chamber for Titanium eyeglass frames.

Some frames will state “titanium” directly on them. You may also check with your doctor or the shop where you purchased your frames. We will test the frames when they arrive in our repair center to confirm the metal type. If you selected a standard repair, and your frames are titanium, we will call you to confirm that it is ok to move forward with the repair.

We have fully trained jewelers and goldsmiths on staff that can treat and repair your frames with the care and attention that they deserve.
If your frame is made of gold or 18karat gold plated like many frames of Cartier and Chopard and other high brands we can use real gold wire to perform the laser weld repair. 14 Karat, 18 Karat and Platinum wire is available.

Our jewelers and goldsmiths on staff can re- gold plate your frame in many cases. However each frame is different and may be plated or surface treated in a unique way or proprietary plating alloy.Therefore we need to see your frame in hand to determine the options and cost for plating

We confirm the exact breakage point, carefully clean the area, and use the laser system to weld the materials back together. The laser weld takes place in an Argon chamber and the Argon prevents oxidation of the metal during the process.
The laser weld itself is precise, exposing your glasses to very little heat (the laser repair operator is able to hold your eyeglasses in his bare hands during this process).
