I just purchased a pair of Valentino sunglasses. I love them, but one of the small decorative metal pieces on the front of the glasses was either missing when I bought them (and I didn't notice) or has disappeared in a matter of 3 wearings. I can't return them as the tags have obviously been removed. Where and how can I get a replacement...it looks silly, and I paid a lot of money for these glasses! I thought possibly lens crafters or some other eyeglass or sunglass shop, if not through the manufacturer. Thank you! Nancy Schlegel

I would like to suggest you,to use glasses that are made up of AR coating to virtually eliminate reflections from the front and back surfaces of your eyeglass lenses. Few sunglasses stores like EL sunglasses ( Products Archive EL Sunglasses ) have made up with cheap polarised sunglasses which enables to reduce glare while reflection emits.

Is warranty still ok? yes. you may have a chance if due to their fault. no. you might not get it free but they can repair.

Hi.

The part (or the glasses) must be replaced. Cheap repair done with superglue is not a good solution. Please contact Nike customer support using the link below:

Athletic Sport Sunglasses & Technology ' Nike

You can send the glasses to the link below to have them fixed.

Repairing an expensive pair of Dior sunglasses does not have to be complicated. A return to the retailer they were purchased from will simplify the process. Dior sunglasses are sold with a one year warranty on manufacturing defects, which means they can be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Simple Dior sunglass repairs may occur through local repair centers.

Check Your Warranty
1. There are two ways in which to work with Dior sunglass repairs when the glasses are under warranty---through the retailer and through the manufacturer. Repairs are not generally made by the retailer if the item is within warranty, although simple repairs, like missing screws or loose parts, may be made by some retailers on site. The retailer can send the glasses to the manufacturer for the customer or will give the customer the address to do so. The customer can also go directly to the manufacturer by calling Safilo (Dior's licensed manufacturer) at 877-228-5818 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 877-228-5818 end_of_the_skype_highlighting and requesting assistance. Safilo will then provide directions on where to send the sunglasses. Safilo will repair items that are out of warranty but this may require paying for the repair.
Purchase Repair Kit
2. Simple repairs can be made at home using a sunglass repair kit. These kits contain a variety of screws, nuts and nose pieces. They also contain a tool to assemble and tighten the repair with. Repair kits are not usually made for a specific manufacturer like Dior. Kits will only supply the pieces for simple repairs and not proprietary parts like nameplates or decorative attachments. Sunglass repair kits can be found through most eyeglass and sunglass stores. They can sometimes be found in variety or drug stores, too. The kits can contain a mixture of gold tone and silver tone parts or may contain only one or the other.
Find Local Repair
3. Local eyeglass repair can be found in many eyeglass centers and through frame sellers. Personnel in these stores are often trained to make simple repairs. LensCrafters and Pearle Vision are two of the many choices for walk-in sunglass repair. Having sunglasses repaired through these retailers may be ideal when the warranty has expired. Sometimes retailers will not charge for simple repairs. If the customer has purchased a specialty part directly from the manufacturer but does not know how to attach it, a local repair center may be able to assist in the repair

If you are happy with my answer please vote four thumbs up. Thank you

Well, here are some facts about glass lenses that might help you reach a better decision.Glass is the only lens material that can be made into 100% optically correct sunglasses. For true vision, there is no comparison between glass and other lens materials.
Glass does not flex or compress. Whenever lenses are placed into an eyewear frame, they are held in place by pressure of some kind. Plastic lenses flex and that creates distortion; but that cannot happen with glass lenses.
Glass does not expand or contract in heat and cold in a significant way. No matter what the temperature outside, 100% optically correct sunglasses will remain 100% optically correct.
Glass is the hardest material, and the most scratch-resistant. Glass is the most durable, and longest-lasting sunglass lens material. However, it is not scratch proof. Sand can scratch glass, but it requires serious effort or trauma to scratch glass lenses.
Technology has made it possible to create a very lightweight glass lens. Today, it can be difficult to tell the difference between glass and plastic, even when holding a pair with glass lenses in one hand and a pair with plastic in the other hand. (Of course, the difference is clear when looking through the lenses. But the weight of the lens is no longer a dead giveaway as to which is which.)

The danger of shattering was once one of the major disadvantages of glass lenses. However, all glass lenses pass the "Drop Ball Test" for impact resistance - the same test that is administered to polycarbonate and CR-39 lenses. When today's polarized lenses tend to break in a similar pattern as a car windshield. The broken pieces of glass mostly stick to the polarizing film that is inside the lens.
These Spotters had been stepped on by the customer. Notice that the broken lens has retained its original curvature. The broken lens pieces were still so tightly held by the frame that we had to smash the broken lens out of the frame with a hammer (it took more than a few smacks, too!). This isn't to say in any way that glass lenses are equivalent to safety glasses. However, polarized glass lenses are much, much less likely to cause injuries today than they ever have been in the past.

If these are the same as the Bausch & Lomb 'Aviator' style. Contact Luxotica. They purchased Bausch & Lombs Sunglasses division. I personally prefer the hooked wires to the standard arms and have purchased the hooked arms to replace the standard ones for other B&L sunglasses.

Another option could be to buy a cheap pair of dubious origin 'genuine' Raybans on the auction site and take the hooked arms off.
