If your prescription has changed, your lenses are scratched, or you simply want a lens upgrade, you don't necessarily need to buy a new pair of glasses. Our lens replacement service, also known as reglazing, fits new prescription lenses into the frames you already own, so you can keep wearing a pair you already know and love.
Can I Put New Prescription Lenses in My Existing Frames?
Yes. In most cases, if your frames are structurally sound, we can remove the old lenses and fit new ones to your latest prescription. This works whether your eyesight has changed, your lenses have become scratched or cloudy, or you'd like to add a coating your original lenses didn't have, such as anti-reflective or blue-light filtering. It's a straightforward way to update your vision without giving up a pair that already fits and suits you.
When to Replace Your Lenses Instead of Your Frames
Lens replacement makes the most sense when your frames are still in good condition, with no bent hinges, significant wear or damage to the rim. A new prescription is the most common reason customers come to us, followed by scratched or worn lenses that affect clarity, and lens upgrades such as moving to a thinner high-index lens or adding a photochromic tint. If you'd happily buy the same frames again today, replacing the lenses is usually the more practical and cost-effective option compared to buying a new pair outright.
Replacement Lenses for Designer Eyeglasses
Reglazing is particularly worthwhile for designer eyewear, where the frame represents most of the original cost. We can fit new prescription lenses into eligible optical frames from brands including Ray-Ban, Gucci and Prada, among others, so you can keep the frames you chose for their fit and style while updating only the part that needs to change. Eligibility depends on the individual frame's construction, so we check each pair before confirming the service.
How the Prescription Lens Replacement Process Works
You don't need to visit a store. After placing your order and confirming your prescription, we arrange for your frames to be sent to our optical lab, where your new lenses are cut and fitted by qualified opticians. Once complete, your glasses are returned to you ready to wear. For more on what reglazing involves, visit our reglazing service page to learn more about the process in detail.
