In most cases yes! But you should be aware that some lenses may be too old or the Anti- Reflective coating might have been improperly placed on the lenses. As a result, different lenses may react differently to this procedure and may in fact turn out worse than they already are.

We will take great care of the frame to the best of our ability. Yet, please understand that a repair is a repair, and with the use of high temperatures, slight discoloration could and often does occur. None the less, we touch up the frame to a like-new condition. Often, the repair is so good that you wouldn’t even notice that a repair had been made!

Typically a repair can last for years depending on the owner’s care. We weld the broken piece(s) and touch up the frame to a like new finish. At Spectek, we avoid any temporary repairs. Our goal is to save you time and money.

A straightforward repair typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes. However, it would be best for us to evaluate your repair in person before promising any estimated completion time. For mail in repairs, please refer to our 3-Step Mail-In Repair System section.

You have asked the right people! This is one of our specialties here at Spectek, and we’re even recognized for this procedure.

Most importantly, we apply adjustable nose Pad Arms, by means of drilling them onto the frame, unlike other shops where they damage and melt the Pad Arms onto your frame.
