I have an older set of frames, but I just got new updated prescription lenses put in a few months ago. The finish on the metal is starting to wear away, and sometimes the bottom of the frames touch my cheeks and leave green marks on them! *lol*
I really don't want to have to shell out for another set of frames. I also bought a new set of glasses at the time I got these lenses updated. I like the older pair better, so don't want to be committed to only the other new set.
I've asked a few eyeglass places and either they don't really have an answer whether it's possible to refinish them, or I've been told that it used to be done fairly commonly, but now they don't know anyone who does it any more. One more example of our disposable society, I guess! Or a way to force us to pay for new frames each time.
Anyway, I'm wondering if there's a way I can do it on my own so that the exposed metal no longer leaves marks on my cheeks.
Thanks!!
