Can you get new lenses for old glasses?

Yes! Everyone knows that it can be hard to part with something you love - and it can be even harder to find something new that is just as good as the old one. The same goes for eyeglass frames. That's why Glassify specializes in putting new lenses into old glasses.

If you have a frame that you really like, but your vision has changed, you can simply replace your lenses. In expensive designer frames that you have paid a lot of money for, it can even be worth it in almost all cases to simply replace the lenses.

• Did you know...? that when you recycle your old eyeglass frames and have new lenses put in, you are helping to end the "use-and-throw-away" culture and thus contribute positively to the environment.

How do you change lenses in old glasses?

1. It is important to start with an eye examination by an ophthalmologist or an eye test by an optician. They will write your vision prescription and determine the exact vision corrections you need.
2. You will need to be given your eyeglass prescription. The eyeglass prescription contains information about your visual acuity, any astigmatism and other specific information that we use to make your new lenses.
3. Think about what your needs are in your new lenses.
4. Familiarize yourself with satisfaction guarantees and product warranties, as this will give you peace of mind when you send your eyeglass frames in to have new lenses inserted.
5. Order your new glasses lenses online .

When we receive your frames, we remove your old lenses and use a 3D scanner to get the exact measurements of your exact frame. The lenses are then ground to fit your vision. All of this helps ensure that your lenses are tailored to your exact frame and have the features you want. At Glassify, no two customers are the same, and we take pride in customizing lenses to fit your exact frame.

A piece of advice! When wearing glasses, it is recommended that you have your vision checked at least once a year by an optician or ophthalmologist, which ensures correct strength and sharpness. You may therefore risk having to change your lenses frequently, so reuse your old frames!

How much does it cost to have the lenses in your glasses replaced?

Many opticians charge extra for new lenses and not a new frame, but at Glassify we have ensured you high quality lenses at a low price. This is possible because we have skipped expensive middlemen and deal directly with the glass factories.

With us, the price for changing the lenses in your glasses is the same regardless of whether your frame is new or old. The price only depends on whether you want to order single-vision lenses or multi-vision lenses with a smooth transition , and what quality you want.

The higher the quality you choose, the more special features in the form of surface treatments and thicknesses you get. Some people need advanced features due to their eyes and specific lens requirements, while others just need standard lenses.
