Broken hinge, bent frame, lost screw — most repairs handled same day. Just stop in. No appointment necessary for minor frame work.
Frame Repairs
Glasses take a beating. Hinges loosen, screws fall out, nose pads crack, temples bend, and sometimes frames outright break. When that happens, you need a solution fast — because glasses aren't optional for most people.
At Elite Eyecare Nashville, we handle most common frame repairs in-house, same day, while you wait. Screw replacements, nose pad swaps, minor adjustments, and many hinge repairs take only a few minutes. More complex repairs — broken solder points, cracked frames, or repairs requiring lab work — may take a few days but we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
We repair frames regardless of where they were purchased. If you bought your glasses elsewhere and something broke, you're still welcome to bring them in. We'll let you know whether a repair makes sense or whether it's time to consider a replacement.
No Appointment Needed
For screw replacements, nose pad swaps, minor adjustments, and quick frame tweaks — just stop by during business hours. No appointment needed. We'll take a look and let you know right away what we can do and how long it will take. Most minor repairs are handled while you wait.
Common Repairs
Most minor repairs are completed same day. More complex work is sent to our lab with a clear turnaround time given upfront.
Loose or missing hinge, temple, or nose pad screws replaced from our in-office screw kit. One of the most common repairs — takes about 2 minutes.
Same DayCracked, discolored, or missing silicone or push-in nose pads replaced on the spot. We stock a wide variety of pad styles and sizes.
Same DayBent temples, uneven nose pads, tilted frames, and general misalignment straightened and adjusted so glasses sit level and comfortable again.
Same DayLoose barrel hinges tightened, spring hinge mechanisms assessed and repaired where possible in-office. Complex hinge breaks may require lab soldering.
Same Day / LabBroken, bent beyond repair, or lost temple arms sourced and replaced where manufacturer parts are available. Timeline depends on parts availability.
Parts DependentBroken metal frame joints, snapped bridges, and detached components requiring soldering are sent to our optical lab. Typically 3–5 business days turnaround.
Lab — 3–5 DaysLenses that have popped out of rimless or semi-rimless mountings re-secured and adjusted. Drill mounts and nylon cord replacements handled in-office.
Same DayUltrasonic cleaning to remove buildup from hinges, nose pads, and frame surfaces — restoring function and appearance. Complimentary for glasses purchased at our office.
Same DayOur Process
Our optician examines your frames and gives you an honest assessment — what's repairable, what isn't, how long it will take, and what it will cost. No surprises. If it can be fixed in-office right now, we tell you. If it needs lab work, we give you a clear timeline.
Minor repairs are completed while you wait — typically 5–15 minutes. Lab repairs are sent out with your contact information and a scheduled pickup or call when ready. We handle your frames carefully — especially if your lenses are still in them.
After any repair, we re-adjust your frames to ensure they sit correctly on your face. A repaired frame that doesn't fit right isn't a complete repair. We finish the job properly.
Sometimes a frame is beyond reasonable repair — and we'll tell you that honestly rather than taking your money for a repair that won't last. If it's time for new frames, we'll show you options and apply any insurance benefit you have available.
