Frame Fitting and Adjustments
A more comfortable, secure fit
If your glasses slide, sit unevenly or feel uncomfortable, bring them in for an assessment. Our team can check frame alignment and fit and explain which adjustments may be possible.
Service availability, fees and the ability to adjust frames purchased elsewhere vary by location and frame condition.
- Sliding frames: have the fit assessed if your glasses no longer stay comfortably in position.
- Uneven fit: frame alignment can be reviewed when one side appears higher or lower.
- Pressure or looseness: an assessment can help determine which adjustments may be possible.
- Frames purchased elsewhere: availability and fees can vary by store and frame condition.
Your Benefit Plan Determines Coverage
Direct billing can simplify claim submission, but your benefit provider remains responsible for deciding what your plan covers.
Eligibility
Your plan determines whether you are eligible to use a particular vision benefit.
Eligible Expenses
The insurer determines which eyewear products or services qualify under the plan.
Remaining Balance
Any amount not covered by the benefit provider remains subject to the terms of your individual plan.
Start With an Assessment When Eyewear Needs Attention
Frame concerns are best assessed with the actual glasses in hand. The condition of the frame helps determine whether an adjustment, repair or replacement may be appropriate.
Parts, fees, service availability and turnaround can vary depending on the eyewear and the location.

Assessment First, Then Clear Repair Options
Loose screws, worn nose pads and bent frame parts can affect comfort and performance.
Bring your glasses to a Hakim Optical store so the team can assess the frame and explain whether an adjustment, repair or replacement is appropriate.
Parts, fees and turnaround time vary.
