Glasses are an essential part of everyday life for millions of people. Whether you wear prescription, protective or sunglasses, frame damage, falling glass or loose hinges can seriously compromise functionality and wearing comfort. Fortunately, most malfunctions can be solved quickly and efficiently with the help of experts. If you need a fast and professional glasses repair, on this page you can find a list of verified opticians in Belgrade that offer this service.
What types of eyeglass defects are most often repaired?
The most common eyeglass defects include:
• a screw falling out of the connection between the frame and the handle,
• broken or bent handles,
• replacing the nosepad (nose pad),
• repairing loose hinges,
• tightening the frame or straightening a crooked frame.
In many in some cases, it is also possible to weld a cracked metal frame or thermally shape the plastic parts, which restores the glasses to a fully functional state.
Can only the glasses in glasses be replaced?
Yes – replacing the lenses in the existing frame is a common practice. If your diopter has changed, the lenses are scratched or damaged, it is not necessary to buy completely new glasses. Most opticians offer a lens replacement service after first checking whether your frame can handle a new mounting. It is also possible to install glasses with an anti-reflective layer, UV protection or a blue light filter - even if the frame is not new.
How long does it take to repair glasses?
The repair time depends on the complexity of the defect. Minor interventions, such as screw tightening or nosepad replacement, take 10 to 20 minutes and can be completed while you wait. More complex repairs involving soldering, replacing parts, or replacing glass can take anywhere from a few hours to 1-2 business days. Professional opticians usually offer a quick diagnosis and approximate completion time on the first visit.
