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.
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.
Excellent service. Specsavers said they couldn't replace the faulty fixing/bridge on my rimless glasses only offered me a discount on a new pair. I had only had them as my second pair for eleven months!
AlphaOmega quoted £45 + return tracked postage and repaired and returned them in a couple of days saving me mega £s. I can't praise them highly enough!
I received amazing service from alphaomega to repair my rimless frame. I was desperate to get my frame fixed asap as I have really bad short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. David did an amazing job and the frame looks practically new. So very grateful that we have this kind of service available.
Oakley Keel Rimless: Brilliant service. I sent my rimless glasses, which my local optician claimed couldn't be repaired! I posted them via special delivery on Tuesday and received them back. good as new, on Thursday when I got back in from work. I actually thought they were the spare backup glasses which I ordered three weeks ago and was shocked to open up the package to repaired Oakleys! The glasses are as good as new. I highly recommend AlphaOmega.
