Ray Ban Junior Tips & Guide!

Since 1952, Ray-Ban's Wayfarer sunglasses have graced the faces of American icons from Gen. Douglas MacArthur to Audrey Hepburn and Madonna. The hard plastic frames do not bend out of shape, but occasionally the glasses will loosen at the hinges from everyday use. Their simple construction makes Wayfarers easy to repair, should yours loosen.

Instructions things you'll need:

 1.     Hold your glasses as if you were going to put them on. On both sides, where the bows meet the lens holders, you will see silver hardware that connects the bows to the glasses. Look at the top inside corner on each side for a small screw that holds the joint together.

2.      Tighten the hinge screws using the small screwdriver from your eyeglass repair kit. Tighten only until you feel slight resistance when you turn the screwdriver. Do this on both sides, then try on the sunglasses. If the are still loose, repeat the process until the fit feels right.

3.      Repair or tighten your spring hinge with your repair kit's screwdriver and a paperclip.  If the screw of your hinge is loose, simply tighten with your screwdriver while using the paperclip to maintain tension on the spring so it remains taught as you tighten the screw. If the screw has fallen out, use the paperclip to align the spring's center with the screw hole and to maintain tension on the spring as you tighten the screw.
