How to Replace a Screw in the Spring Hinge of Your Eyeglasses？
Posted by yue shen on
Eyeglasses are essential accessories for many of us, whether for vision correction or fashion. Over time, they can wear out, and one of the most common issues is a loose or missing screw in the spring hinge. Fortunately, you don’t have to rush to an optician every time this happens. Replacing the screw in the spring hinge of your eyeglasses is a straightforward task that you can do at home with the right tools and a little patience.
What You’ll Need:
- Replacement screws (usually available in eyeglass repair kits)
- Small screwdriver (usually a Phillips or flathead, depending on your glasses)
- A tool like a paperclip or tweezers
- Magnifying glass (optional, for better visibility)
- Steady hands and patience
After the screw is in place, use your screwdriver to tighten it. Be careful not to over-tighten, as this could damage the hinge or break the screw.
With the screw securely in place, test the spring hinge by opening and closing the temple (arm) of the glasses. It should move smoothly and stay in place when fully opened.
If the hinge feels loose or the temple doesn’t move smoothly, you may need to adjust the screw or reinsert it.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to replace the screw in the spring hinge of your eyeglasses and keep them functioning like new. Happy repairing!
