Emergency frames

3D printed ‘emergency’ glasses

It always happens at the least convenient moment; your frame breaks. Whether it's the hinges, the nose rests or the legs, a broken frame is an annoyance for many glasses wearers and can be an unforeseen expense. Especially in cases where the frame is beyond repair. As a result, you have to hastily pick a new frame, even if you don't think the frame quite suits you.

3D printed ‘emergency’ glasses

Introducing Opsin Optics’ innovative solution: 3D printed ‘emergency’ glasses. These glasses are a solution to provide customers with temporary frames. In five of our locations, we can provide a new frame in ten minutes, which could last up to three months. After three months, the glasses will gradually start to break down. The frame of these 3D printing glasses is made using biodegradable material.

Who are the Opsin Optics 3D printed glasses for?

For anyone that may need them! Whether you are a loyal customer of ours, or need to use this service out of necessity; everyone is welcome. After all, no one plans to have their glasses break ahead of time. You may be travelling to your next destination in Belgium, in which case it is nice to be able to enjoy the view.
