Introduction

This guide will provide a clear step-wise procedure on how to repair a broken temple (arm) on a pair of rimless glasses. Glasses can be bent or broken in all sorts of ways, and wearers of spectacles are surely familiar with the plight of a damaged frame.

This is a very simple process which can save you money when you need to fix your rimless glasses at home. Every time a displacement occurs, you’ll be able to fix your glasses on your own. All you need to have is a rimless glasses repair tool kit which consists of a glasses plier, a silhousette, a push pin, and compression glove.

    • Take the compression sleeves and insert them into the outer lens holes with the pins facing out.

    • Using the cutting head of the glasses plier, trim the compression sleeve pins down so that only 1 mm remains sticking out the front of the glasses.

    • Take a push pin and enlarge the holes of compression sleeves by gently inserting the pin into the holes.

    • Insert the arm of the glasses into the enlarged holes of the compression sleeves.

    • Use a silhousette to gently press the arm from the top and tighten it to the glasses.

    But one of the pins broke off the arm.

This is very good if the frame arm just fell off of the lens, but it doesn't tell how to remove a broken frame arm from the lens—ie, how to get the compression sleeve off of the broken arm without damaging the lens.
