Expert Eyeglass Repair

Don't discard your favorite frames. Our specialized repair service can restore frames that others consider beyond saving. From complex bridge repairs to replacement parts, we bring precision craftsmanship to every repair challenge.


We've all heard it before: "These frames can't be fixed," or "You'll need to buy a new pair. " These declarations have become standard responses at many optical shops where repair skills have been replaced by sales incentives. At Stillo, we take a fundamentally different approach. We believe that with the right skills, tools, and patience, many seemingly "unrepairable" frames can be given new life.


Our repair capabilities extend far beyond the basic adjustments offered at chain stores. From reconstructing broken bridge components to fabricating custom replacement parts, we approach each repair as a unique challenge deserving of creative problem-solving and technical expertise. This restoration-first mindset not only saves you money but often preserves frames with sentimental value that simply cannot be replaced.


The Science and Art of Frame Repair


Frame repair at Stillo combines technical precision with artisanal craftsmanship. Using specialized tools rarely found in conventional optical shops, we can address issues ranging from broken hinges and missing screws to fractured frame materials and bent components.

Our repair process begins with a thorough assessment of the damage and the frame's structural integrity. We then develop a customized repair strategy that considers both the functional requirements and aesthetic considerations. For metal frames, this might involve precision soldering and realignment; for acetate frames, specialized bonding techniques and careful reshaping are often required.


The Value Proposition


Our repair service often represents significant value compared to purchasing new frames. Beyond the obvious cost savings, repairing your existing frames means preserving the perfect fit you've already established and maintaining the look you've grown accustomed to. It's also an environmentally conscious choice that reduces waste and extends the lifecycle of quality materials.


For vintage frames, heirloom pieces, or discontinued styles, our repair service offers something truly priceless: the preservation of irreplaceable eyewear that might otherwise be lost forever. We take particular pride in these challenging restorations, applying both technical skill and respect for the original craftsmanship.

Custom Prescription Lenses

 

The heart of truly quality eyewear lies in the lenses. At STILLO, we personally craft your prescription lenses in our Silver Spring lab, ensuring a level of optical precision that mass-produced alternatives simply can't match.


Beyond Standard Prescription


Most people don't realize that a prescription is just the starting point. At STILLO, we know those numbers from your eye doctor are a foundation—but how that prescription is translated into physical lenses makes all the difference in your visual experience.

While mass-market providers often reduce prescriptions into broad, standardized ranges to speed up production, we follow the exact specifications your optometrist
provides, adhering strictly to ANSI standards. That means no shortcuts—just lenses that are crafted to meet your unique visual needs.

Premium Opthalmic Frames


Discover frames that combine style with function. We personally select each frame option for quality construction, comfort, and versatility to ensure lasting performance and satisfaction.

The Frame Selection Philosophy


At Stillo, our approach to frames begins with a fundamental question: "Would we wear these ourselves?" This simple criterion forms the foundation of our carefully curated frame collection. Rather than stocking hundreds of options of varying quality, we focus on a select assortment of frames that meet our rigorous standards for materials, construction, and design integrity.


This thoughtful curation process sets us apart from both high-volume retailers carrying excessive inventory and boutiques focused exclusively on designer laEEls. We believe that a frame's quality is determined by its construction and materials, notjust its brand name or price point. This philosophy allows us to offer frames across various price ranges without compromising on the fundamental quality that ensures lasting performance.


This comprehensive approach to frame selection and fitting transforms what might be a simple fashion choice into a tailored experience that ensures both aesthetic satisfaction and functional performance.


Complete Prescription Eyeglasses


Experience the perfect harmony of our premium lenses and quality frames. Each pair is handcrafted to your exact specifications, creating eyewear that enhances both
your vision and appearance.


The Integrated Advantage


While lens quality and frame selection are vital components of exceptional eyewear, the true magic happens when these elements are integrated with precision and care. At Stillo, we approach complete prescription eyeglasses as unified systems where every component must work in harmony for optimal performance.


This integrated approach tch stands in stark contrast to the fragmented model common in today's eyewear industry, where frames might be selected at one location, lenses ordered from a distant laboratory, and final assembly performed by someone with minimal connection to either process. At Stillo, the same experienced hands guide your eyewear from initial measurements through final adjustments, ensuring consistency and quality at every step.


Through this comprehensive approach to complete prescription eyeglasses, Stillo delivers what mass-market providers cannot: eyewear that truly performs as an extension of yourself, enhancing both how you see and how you're seen.
