Optician's Guide to Horn Glasses Frame

This guide covers lens assembly, adjustment, and care for horn glasses. We hope you find it helpful!

1. Lens Assembly

1.1 Choose Thinner Lenses: Opt for thinner lenses to ensure a better fit and appearance.

1.2 Lens Cutting: Ensure the lens shape matches the frame precisely to avoid stress. The material of horn glasses is quite hard, and any inconsistencies can lead to lens damage.

1.3 Fitment: Lenses should not be overly tight in the frame. A snug fit is important, but excessive tightness can make installation difficult and damage both the lens and frame.

1.4 Frame Care for Replacement: Older frames can become brittle. Before replacing lenses, apply a small amount of olive oil or a care cream (such as baby cream) to the horn frames. If possible, allow it to sit for two days to soften the material, reducing the risk of damage.

2. Adjustment of Horn Glasses

2.1 Heating: Begin by gently heating the frames with a heat gun or hair dryer.

2.2 Gentle Adjustment: Use appropriate force during adjustments to achieve the desired results without risking damage.

2.3 Professional Help: It’s best to have adjustments made by a qualified optician rather than attempting to do it yourself.

3. Care for Horn Glasses

3.1 Cleaning: Always use a specialized glasses cloth for cleaning to avoid scratches.

3.2 Conditioning: Regularly apply a small amount of olive oil or care cream (or baby cream) to the frames to maintain their luster and prevent drying.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity and beauty of your horn glasses. Thank you for choosing our products!
