However, other types like spring/flex are a bit trickier, in which case you should check with your optician. Frequently pushing up your glasses because they’ve slid down your nose is annoying, but tightening your glasses is easy.

Then I pulled, and shoved in a very small flat screwdriver (smaller than a typical eyeglass screwdriver) – but another paper clip may have worked as well (as mentioned in instructions on this page). Once you know how the spring hinges on your eyeglasses or sunglasses work, it isn’t too hard to tighten a loose screw or even to replace a missing one. I used a pair of tweezers for this, put you can also do this with your fingers as long as you are careful. Once you’ve got your specs, be sure to take good care of them not only by cleaning but also by keeping an eye out for any parts that need replacing or adjusting.

Not much, the most important things are a precision screwdriver and if necessary, a replacement screw.

If you purchase a new pair of eyeglasses and they slide off the face or do not fit securely, a few barrels can be adjusted inside the hinge to provide a snug fit. A number of eyeglass manufacturers have developed proprietary technology for spring/flex hinges that bend in all directions to provide optimal durability and a more secure fit. Since there are no springs or barrels in hingeless frames, some wearers will experience the glasses moving around on the nose bridge. When the temple is extended further outwards than its resting position, the tension on this mechanism pulls the arm back inwards.

Renowned maker Persol uses their patented Meflecto system to craft eyeglass and sunglass temples that flex in multiple directions without pinching. It is our goal to produce the highest quality prescription eyeglasses and using OBE hinges in our frames is a key component of helping us reach this goal.

Frames with a lower bridge and a more arched browline are best if the bridge of your nose is lower on your face (approximately even with your pupils).High quality service; fixed my broken glasses frame as my left arm had snapped of and they replaced it perfectly with a new hinge. If the hinge has sheared-off completely, then it must either be replaced or the frame cannot be re-joined back together again. These great spring hinges are specially recommended for wooden eyeglass manufaturers,new makers and designers. This allows temples to move back and forth while still keeping them firmly attached to the frame front. If you lead an active lifestyle, you don’t have to worry about your glasses falling or coming apart as much.
