Rimless Glasses Repair
AlphaOmega provides specialist expert glasses repair for both rimless and semi-rimless glasses.
Rimless glasses are those where the lenses are mounted directly onto the bridge of the spectacles or are attached to the temples instead of being contained within a frame.
They come in two flavours: three-piece rimless glasses with the lenses mounted on the bridge with separate temple arms, or semi-rimless spectacles with an arch that links both the temples and the bridge.
No matter what type of rimless frame repair you need, AlphaOmega is confident in carrying out even the most challenging repair quickly, efficiently and professionally.

Rimless spectacles can present particular problems when it comes to eyeglass repairs. The lenses are usually held in place by special drill-mounted screws, although some use hollow rivets or 'bushings' that slot into holes in the lenses.
Bushings help to give a cleaner rimless look than screws, but they tend to be more fragile and often need specialist work if they come loose or break. Modern-day rimless glasses come in a wide variety of materials, shapes, colours and sizes, with many options, such as screwless hinges and compression welds.
The popularity of rimless glasses has waxed and waned over the years, but their success grew markedly with the introduction of lightweight acetates and modern metals like titanium.
Innovative materials technology has resulted in remarkable advances, including replacing traditional hinges with rotating endpieces and using flat and very thin titanium temples to improve strength and flexibility.
Stainless steel is another popular material for the manufacture of rimless glasses. It is robust, lightweight and durable and, like titanium, stays stable even when very thin, making it ideal for modern minimalist styles. Minimalist is the crucial word for designer rimless glasses.
Many designer manufacturers will add an anti-reflective coating to the lenses so that the eyewear virtually disappears. Others add a light tint to the lenses or lens edges to give them a sleek and chic appearance, while gradient tints can make the glasses look even more eye-catching.
Some say rimless glasses now represent the cutting-edge of style in the modern age, emphasising technological and material innovation. But whichever type or style you own, rimless glasses repair is a speciality of AlphaOmega Frame Repairs, and we are confident we have the skills and equipment required to fix your broken glasses in just a few days.
Fantastic service! SpecSavers told me the rimless glasses couldn't be repaired, but AlphaOmega sorted them super fast. I dropped them off at the Post Office on Monday around 4pm and they were back first thing Wednesday -- brilliant! Would definitely use AlphaOmega again and will recommend them far and wide.
My rimless glasses nose bridge broke. I sent a query regarding my broken glasses and within 24 hours I received an answer. I sent my glasses off on Monday and received them back on Wednesday. The quality of repair is of really high standard and the frame feels more robust than from my opticians. Excellent service and I would not hesitate to use again.
Very pleased with the fast and effective repair of (for me) an expensive pair of rimless glasses. They have now been resurrected as my lenses of choice. Still can't believe the same-day repair and prompt return. Excellent service, many thanks, I won't hesitate to recommend.
My old rimless glasses were bought in 1990 from WE Pain & Sons on Kings Parade in Cambridge. That is now a coffeehouse. A few years ago a nose pad was broken and lost by a chain optician who couldn't fix them. I decided to try and learn to solder making it a project to fix my own glasses. This failed. I had assumed it would be very expensive to have them fixed by someone skilled. I was wrong: Alpha Omega did a magnificent job within two weeks at a good price. I am very grateful!
