Funny you should ask. I have had my second pair of Flexon frames break apart at the nose bridge. Took them into Pearle Vision where I bought them and they couldn't fix them, so I bought a new pair at a discount, and they broke again. When I went in to get them replaced the second time, I found out they no longer sell that frame!!! At least not at the store where I bought them. Makes me wonder if I am not the only one who has had the problem and if the whole line is defective, especially since they gave me an extremely convincing sales pitch on the first pair. Trying to get rid of them because they were being discontinued??? So my answer is to get something entirely different if you can afford it. Seems to me the Flexon feature is what makes them break more easily as opposed to making them more durable, which was supposed to the point.
I have also had 2 pairs of Flexon frames break at the nose bridge. Just talked to Vision Works, where I purchased them, along with insurance, blah blah blah, and since they were replaced or me once already (marked then as manufacturer defect) I now have to pay 50% of the cost of the frame to replace them this time. Which, according to the uppity snippet I spoke with on the phone, they're really not SUPPOSED to do.. it's just a courtesy they offer their customers. This is also the first time I was informed that my glasses are NOT Flexon by Marchon, or I wouldn't have paid as much as I did for them. They're a knockoff. Basically you're S.O.L. I'm afraid. I don't think they can be repaired. I'm going to call the manager tomorrow and get the number for the manufacturer and complain to them directly. See if I can get anywhere that way. In the meantime, I'm without glasses, and will be reduced to an old pair of contacts til my new ones arrive. I groom dogs for a living... this should be fun!

To repair broken or damaged guitar strings, you can replace them with new strings of the same gauge and type. Remove the old string by unwinding it from the tuning peg and bridge, then insert the new string through the bridge and wind it around the tuning peg. Tune the string to the correct pitch and trim any excess length.
Normally you would have to send them back to the company that makes them for repair. Look on the box for the customer service number to call.
