subject: Reglazing lenses [print this page] There are several possible reasons you may decide to reglaze your glasses, but the most common one being the general wear and tear that every day usage affects on your glasses. Your glasses are probably, and most likely, misaligned and even wearing your glasses for lengthy periods of time during the day will have some discomfort for you and possibly making the experience of wearing glasses very uncomfortable.
In these current economic times we are looking for ways to stretch our pounds further, and reglazing your glasses is certainly a feasible option. Maybe you have broken a lens or you require a new prescription and don't wish to purchase another new pair of glasses? Reglazing is a service you should possibly be considering. However, reglazing your lenses is not an option open to everyone so you will need to check this with your provider before going ahead.
Reglazing your lenses is not only limited to whether you need a new prescription or have a broken lens. Reglazing services extend further to lenses that are scratched and damaged, or you would like to keep your current prescription lens but change the type of lens you currently have in your frame. Or maybe your glasses became misaligned through simple negligence, like leaving your glasses on the sofa and someone not seeing them, sat on them or a simply they slid from your head falling to the floor. All these straightforward day to day occurrences cause our glasses to misalign.
However, reglazing cannot be performed if your frame is in bad condition as it could be liable to break during the reglazing process. High street optician's offer this service but an added advantage to the feasibility is that most online stores now offer this service too, making it convenient as well as economical.
