Glasses Repairs Trinidad And Tobago Call 276-1616

 Living in beautiful Trinidad means we're no strangers to the heat and humidity! While we love our sunshine, it presents a unique challenge for glasses wearers: sweat. You might think sweat just makes your glasses slip, but it can actually be a silent enemy to your frames. The Hidden Threat: Sweat's Acidic Assault Sweat isn't just water; it contains various compounds, including salts, urea, and lactic acid, making it slightly acidic. This acidity, especially over time, can have detrimental effects on your glasses: Corrosion on Metal Frames:  For those rocking stylish metal frames, the acidity in your sweat can lead to corrosion. The compounds in sweat react with the metal, causing discoloration, pitting, and weakening the material. This isn't just an aesthetic issue; it compromises the integrity of your frame, leading to premature breakage. Hinge Seizure on All Frames:  Whether your frames are metal or plastic, sweat often finds its way into the tiny, intricate mechanis...

While Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings are incredibly beneficial for most people, there are indeed specific jobs or situations where issuing them might not be the best idea due to the nature of the coating itself. The primary reasons an AR coating might not be recommended include : Occupations Involving High Heat Exposure:  AR coatings are applied in a vacuum environment using very thin layers, and they are susceptible to damage from extreme heat.  Working Jobs With Ar Coated Lenses like: Welders Bakers Chefs (especially those working near ovens/stoves for long periods) Industrial workers around furnaces, kilns, or other high-temperature machinery Anyone who consistently leaves their glasses in extremely hot environments  (e.g., on a car dashboard in a tropical climate like Trinidad and Tobago).  High heat can cause the coating to crack, "craze" (develop a fine network of cracks), peel, or bubble, making the lens unusable. Occupations with High Expos...

No, lenses cannot be "repaired" in the sense of removing scratches or damage while maintaining their original prescription. Here's why: Prescription is in the Curve:  Eyeglass prescriptions are achieved by precisely surfacing and polishing the lens to a specific curvature. This curvature is what dictates the corrective power of the lens. Any attempt to polish out scratches will alter this curvature, effectively changing or eliminating the prescription. The Depth of Scratches is Unknown:   You can't tell how deep a scratch is. Trying to buff it out would involve removing an unknown amount of material, which would invariably affect the lens's optical properties. Anti-Reflective (AR) Coatings are Delicate:  AR coatings are baked onto the lens surface. They are susceptible to cracking, especially in high heat (like leaving glasses in a hot car in a tropical climate) or when exposed to harsh chemicals. Once an AR coating cracks, it cannot be repaired, and the lens will...

  Question: Do you find yourself constantly twisting or wiggling your glasses on your face to get them to sit just right?   While it might seem like a quick fix for comfort, this common habit could be the culprit behind your frames feeling loose and constantly slipping!   E xplanation: Every time you twist your glasses on your face, you're actually putting uneven pressure on the delicate  frame front hinges . These hinges connect the main part of your glasses (the frame front) to the temples (the arms that go over your ears). This constant rocking motion and twisting force can gradually cause:     Screws to loosen:  The tiny screws in the hinges can work their way out over time. Hinges to open outwards:  The repeated stress can stretch or slightly misalign the hinge components. Slack temples:  As the front hinges become compromised, the temples lose their snug fit, leading to your glasses feeling loose and sliding down your nose.   Solut...

Yes, rainwater can potentially damage glasses frames over time, especially with repeated exposure or if not properly cared for. While a single splash of clean rainwater isn't likely to cause immediate, catastrophic damage, here's how it can lead to issues, particularly with prolonged or frequent exposure which leads to Corrosion on Metal Frames: This is the biggest concern. Rainwater, while generally not highly corrosive itself, contains minerals, dust, and sometimes pollutants. When it sits on metal frames (especially common metals like stainless steel, nickel, or alloys), it can lead to oxidation or rust . This is particularly true if the protective coating on the metal is scratched or worn off, exposing the bare metal. Screws and hinges are highly vulnerable as they are often made of metal and have tiny crevices where water can get trapped. This can lead to rusting, seizing up, or loosening . Damage to Frame Coatings/Finishes: Many metal and even some plastic frames have a p...
