Step by Step Instructions on Fixing Eyeglasses

A Simple Guide on Fixing eyeglasses with Bostik Super Glue Ultra+

If you have weak eyesight, eyeglasses are essential to seeing the world clearly. Even if you have perfect eyesight, you probably own one or more pairs of sunglasses. Regardless of the design, eyeglasses can break.  

In the long run, you may choose to get a new pair but until then, a dab of glue can help repair the eyeglasses and keep them wearable. It’s an easy project you can do at home.  

Making the world a little clearer

It’s nearly impossible to imagine a world where you can’t see clearly. Eyeglasses play a critical role here. Some help improve your vision while others protect your eyes from the sun. Whether it’s a pair of sunglasses or powered spectacles, fragility is a common feature binding them all.  

We’re not talking only about the lenses. The frames can break too. If you’re wearing powered eyeglasses, you can’t do without them for too long. So, you need to repair the frame as soon as possible.  

How to fix broken eyeglasses?

Being careful while you use your eyeglasses and sunglasses can help minimize the risk of damage. Firstly, when you take them off, store them in a case. Avoid leaving them in areas that are exposed to extreme heat, like your car dashboard. Most importantly, make sure they fit you well so they don’t slip off.
