How to repair broken glasses legs?

In daily life, when playing, fighting, or wearing glasses with one hand, these things that seem to have nothing to do with glasses can cause the legs of glasses to break. Some people say that if the legs of glasses are broken, just replace them with new ones. It is very simple to replace them with new ones, but some things are more convenient to use the old ones, and glasses are like this. For broken legs of glasses, many people want to repair them and use them again. So how to repair broken legs of glasses?

What should I do if my glasses frame is broken?

Do not twist the frame of glasses with force

When you take off or put on glasses with one hand, the frame may be deformed due to uneven force, so you must use both hands when taking off or putting on glasses. You should also check the screws on the glasses frame regularly to see if they are loose or if the frame is deformed. If you find that the screws are loose, tighten them in time to prevent the lens from falling off and breaking.

Reattach the broken glasses leg to its original position on the glasses body. 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). First stick the tape on the inner side to the glasses leg, and tighten the other side with your hand. This step is critical. If it is not tightened, it will not stick firmly. Then extend the outer tape to the temple and press it firmly with your hands. Then cut a piece of tape about twice the circumference of the bottom of the temple and stick it around the bottom of the temple. Then cut a piece of tape about twice the circumference of the middle and upper part of the temple and use it to stick to the 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. 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.

Don’t wear other people’s glasses.

The degree of each person's frame glasses lenses, the distance between the optical centers of the two lenses, the length of the temples, and the height of the nose pads are all different, so you can't just wear someone else's glasses.

Do not participate in strenuous exercise when wearing frame glasses because strenuous exercise may break the glasses and cause eye damage.

The frame of the glasses should not be too loose or too tight

The distance between the two temples of the glasses and the curvature of the temples should be appropriate, and the glasses should not be worn too loose or too tight. The eyes must be facing the optical center of the lens, otherwise a prism effect will occur, causing symptoms such as distorted vision, dizziness, vertigo, sore eyes, fatigue, and even strabismus.

How to maintain frame glasses?

1. If the contamination is minor, wipe it with a soft tissue or lens cloth; 2. When taking off the glasses, they should be placed away from children to prevent the glasses from being broken or causing harm to children; 3. When taking a bath, sauna or sea bath, the glasses should be properly kept to prevent corrosion and damage to the glasses caused by moisture or sea water; 4. When the glasses are not used for a long time, they should be stored in a lens case; 5. If the glasses are placed on the table, do not let the convex surface of the lens touch the table to avoid wear and tear on the mirror surface; 6. Do not place the glasses in direct sunlight or on the heating bag to prevent the frame from deformation and fading; 7. Avoid placing reading glasses in direct sunlight to prevent fire caused by the focusing effect of the lenses. Correct lens cleaning: 1. Clean the lenses of frame glasses regularly to maintain good clarity; 2. To prevent metal frames from corrosion and premature fading, do not expose glasses to acids, alkalis and corrosive gases. Human sweat has a certain corrosive effect, so don't let the frame be stained with sweat. Items containing chemical ingredients such as beauty products, insect repellents, medicines or paints can cause the frames to fade or deform. If the glasses are stained with these items, they should be cleaned in time; 3. If there is dirt on the lenses that is difficult to wipe off, rinse it with clean water first; if it is stained with grease, use detergent to remove the dirt, and then rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry with a soft paper towel or glasses cloth. Avoid scratching with sharp objects; 4. When cleaning glasses, be sure to use a clean, dedicated lens cloth and be gentle. When wiping the glasses, it is best to hold the bridge of the frame with one hand and gently wipe the lens body with the other hand; 5. Glasses should be kept away from organic solvents and avoid being close to high temperatures and fire; 6. Many optician centers now offer services that use ultrasonic cleaning of glasses. This is to put the glasses into an ultrasonic lens washer filled with clean water, and the dirt will be removed through the action of ultrasonic waves. It can be cleaned in 5 minutes.
