REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
CONTINUED CARE & WARRANTIES
Eyewear purchased at our location is covered (excluding parts required, if any), though we happily service frames purchased outside of Fritz & Hawley Guild Opticians. Also, if your frame happens to have a defect (rare, but possible) we will help facilitate your 1-year manufacturer’s warranty if provided by the brand.
Has your doctor changed your prescription? If we received your previous script within the last 60 days, we will do a one-time remake of your lenses at no charge (excludes upgrades).
