Renewing the temples on your pair of glasses
When you choose the frame of your pair of glasses, the optician will adjust it perfectly to your face.
The spectacles arms should rest on the temples above the ears without being too tight.
Sometimes, however, the temples of the spectacle frame have to be changed.
When do eyeglass temples need to be changed?
In the vast majority of cases, spectacle temples need to be replaced when one breaks.
In fact, it can happen with time and wear that an eyeglass temple unscrews and falls off.
In this case, an appointment with the optician is necessary to replace the temple by screwing it back on.
In the case of frames where the arms are not screwed on, the procedure will be different.
If a temple breaks, the whole frame will have to be replaced by the optician.
In other cases, the spectacles arms will have to be modified when they are too tight at the temples.
In any case, don't hesitate to ask your optician for advice rather than trying to repair them yourself.
Indeed, glasses temples fixed with tape or any other D-system can lead to a bad posture of the pair on the face.
In addition to being unaesthetic, this makeshift arrangement causes discomfort in everyday life.
It's all the more wrong to repair your eyeglass temples yourself, as having them fixed by the optician is nowadays very quick and easy.
The virtues of having your frame repaired rather than replaced
When a temple of their glasses comes loose or unscrews, many have the reflex to change their pair of glasses completely.
However, this is far from being the right solution in both economic and ecological terms.
In fact, having your glasses repaired by replacing the temples on your frames is a doubly virtuous gesture.
Firstly, it allows the person to save money because a repair is always cheaper than buying a new frame.
The optician may even offer to repair the frame free of charge, depending on the store or the extent of the damage.
In addition, not throwing away your old frame to get a new one is an environmental gesture.
Indeed, fixing the eyeglass arm makes it possible to give a new life to the frame which is generally still in very good condition.
