Hi everyone,

I have a pair of wire frame (I guess it's wire frame, as opposed to
plastic) eyeglasses and when I was cleaning them one day, the left nose
piece, protector fell out, and I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone know if these are replaceable. I don't want spend money on
a new pair of glasses. If I go to an optometrist like a Lenscrafters,
can I buy a new one? It's become somewhat painful on the old nose. I've
had this pair forever, and I'd like to keep them a bit longer, lol.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Yes, any competent optometry shop should be able to replace nosepads,
if the little wire doohickey that holds the nosepad hasn't gone
missing.

The ones I've had are held in the little loop with tiny screws. Around here
the chains will give you new ones or adjust your old ones with a smile and a
"Come back when you need new glasses" instead of a bill.

Bev,
You should be able to go to Lenscrafters and they will replace the
plastic nosepieces for you. They will replace both and if you did not
get the glasses there, they will charge you about $10 for both.
Hopefully this helps you. Take care.

Lenscrafters must be hurting if they are starting to charge for nosepads.
The local manager may be rewriting LC policy without authorization
otherwise.

I've always done it free of charge as a public service issue and that was
LC's policy for a long as I can recall.

We do little tune up things like that in hopes you'll think of us when you
need to buy new glasses.

Thanks. I went to the place that sold them to me, who swapped the pads for me
several dozen times -- large, small, hard, soft... They all sucked. They
said if I'd come in sooner they might have been willing to put the lenses into
diffeent frames.

Don't put up with things for a year and a half, DO IT NOW!
