What to do if the legs of glasses are broken

Many people who wear glasses have experienced broken glasses legs. There are many reasons for broken glasses legs, such as accidentally pressing on the glasses, dropping the glasses due to high-intensity exercise, long-term wear and tear, etc. These are direct or indirect causes of broken glasses legs. In this case, you can only replace the glasses frame. If you have good hands-on skills, you can also repair it yourself. However, friends who wear glasses for a long time in life should still pay more attention.

tool

The tools you need to prepare are as follows: broken glasses, a soft pad (such as a mouse pad, put the glasses on the pad to repair them to prevent them from being worn), scissors, a roll of tape, glasses strap (or a softer rope), and a glasses cloth.

Steps/Methods

1. Splice the broken glasses leg to its original position on the glasses body.

2 Cut a piece of tape about 10 cm long and pass it through the gap between the glasses leg and the spring base in the picture (nowadays glasses generally have springs, but if there is no such gap, you can adjust it according to the structure of your eyes).

How to repair a broken glasses leg

3. First stick the tape on the inner side to the glasses leg.

4 Use your hands to tighten the other side. This step is critical. If it is not tightened, it will not stick firmly.

Then put the outer tape on the glasses leg and press it firmly with your hands.

Then cut a piece of tape about twice the circumference of the bottom of the temple and tape it around the bottom of the temple.

Cut a piece of tape that is about twice the circumference of the top-middle part of the temple and use it to stick on top of the tape used in the first step.

Then use a piece of tape that is about twice the circumference of the middle of the temple to cover the area between the tape used in the previous two steps.

Then repeat steps 2 to 5, insert another layer of tape from the gap to the outside of the already taped area and stick it on.

The next two steps are the most important. First, cut a piece of tape as long as the temple of the glasses, and stick one end of it to the bottom of the temple, with an angle of about 60 degrees to the temple.

Then pull the other end tight with your hand and stick it upward in a spiral until all the previous tape is covered.

The gluing part is successfully completed. The effect is as follows

It is glued, but the repair is not as strong as a complete one because of the lack of elasticity. Sometimes the glasses will fall off when the head sweats too much, so a glasses strap is needed. Of course, students who don’t have straps can use ropes instead.

Finally, polish the lenses.
