I have a pair of plastic frame Burberry glasses. Yesterday, I noticed that the left arm was warped. I was wondering whether I could just get the arm replaced and for how much. It doesn't seem like it can be bent back into shape using heat.

How badly warped is it? If it's not too severe, they may be able to heat it and mould it back to shape.

opticians usually have this heated box of sand-sorta material...and they place the affected frame in it and they can mold it back to shape usually...

The arm is composed of two pieces, the Burberry plate which connects to the wire and the plastic that encloses the wire itself. The two pieces are starting to separate. Also, the plastic is all bumpy for some reason, as if it melted at dried that way. If worst comes to worst, how much could I be looking at in terms of repairing the arm? Is there a way to order a replacement arm?

usually the replacement arm would cost you about half of a new frame, IMHO, not worth the $$.. burberry frames are not $ to start with
