Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my glasses adjusted?

We recommend coming in at least once or twice a year, or whenever your glasses feel loose, crooked, or uncomfortable.

We handle most common repairs, including tightening screws, replacing nose pads, reshaping bent frames, and adjusting temple arms. For more complex issues, we’ll walk you through the next steps.

In most cases, basic adjustments are complimentary for our patients. More extensive repairs may have a small fee, which we’ll always explain up front.

Even small shifts in how your lenses sit in front of your eyes can change how you see. Keeping your glasses aligned ensures your prescription is working as intended.
