Just like prescription glasses, sunglasses need regular care and attention.
However, you may sometimes encounter a few problems with your optical equipment.
Here's an overview of what can happen to your sunglasses and where to get them repaired.
In everyday life, sunglasses are both a fashion accessory and a means of protection from the sun and the elements.
That is why we take our sunglasses with us almost everywhere we go, all year round.
As a result, our sunglasses can be damaged in a number of ways.
The most usual case is scratches to the lenses, even fine ones, often as a result of direct contact with a surface.
Another common type of damage is when one of the temples comes loose or falls off.
This is usually due to the fact that the sunglasses are not kept securely in their case when out and about.
In addition, the frame of the sunglasses may have a natural tendency to expand with wear and tear.
As a result, the sunglasses no longer fit snugly on your face and tend to slide forward on your nose.
These are just some of the problems that can occur with sunglasses.
To enjoy good, comfortable sun protection, it is advisable to have any problems repaired as soon as possible.
Many people try to repair their sunglasses themselves, hoping to save time or money.
But these home repairs are often ineffective and don't last very long.
They are even more pointless when a professional repair can be done very quickly and free of charge.
As a matter of fact, in our optical centres, repairs are not charged for and can be carried out on the spot in a matter of moments.
For example, one of our Optical Center opticians can screw a temple back on in just a few minutes.
Having your sunglasses repaired by a professional is the only guarantee of an effective and lasting repair.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you need your sunglasses fixed, whatever the damage.
It's worth remembering that many of these issues can be avoided by rigorous maintenance and careful handling of your sunglasses.
