What Is Glasses Reglazing?
Glasses reglazing means replacing your existing lenses with brand new prescription lenses while keeping your own frames. Instead of buying new glasses, you can keep your stylish frames and have fresh lenses fitted that match your current prescription details.
It’s ideal if your lenses are scratched, damaged, or out of date. The reglaze process is simple — send us your frames, we fit your new lenses, and return them ready to wear. Whether you need single vision lenses, bifocals, varifocals or polarised lenses, we’ll produce high-quality replacements to suit your needs.
Why Reglaze Your Glasses?
Reglazing is a quick, affordable alternative to buying a new pair of glasses. Many customers love the comfort and fit of their existing frames, so reglazing is the smart way to upgrade your lenses without replacing them.
With our reglaze service, you can:
- Save money compared to high street opticians
- Keep your existing frames that already suit your style
- Choose from a full range of lens types and coatings
- Enjoy the same quality and clarity as brand new glasses
Our reglazing process ensures your lenses are produced to the highest optical standards for long-lasting quality and comfort.
How Our Reglaze Service Works
Our reglaze process is quick, simple and reliable.
- Choose your lens type – Select from single vision, bifocal or varifocal lenses depending on your prescription. We also offer thin, polarised and transitions options.
- Send your glasses – Pack your existing frames securely and post them to our glazing lab.
- Lenses fitted by experts – We’ll fit new prescription lenses according to your prescription details. Each pair is checked for accuracy, quality and fit.
- Receive your glasses back – Your reglazed glasses are returned ready to wear, usually within just a few working days.
This simple process means you can upgrade your vision with minimal effort — and without paying high street prices.
Lens Options and Upgrades
We offer a full range of lens options to match your lifestyle and vision needs:
- Single vision lenses – Perfect for reading or distance use, offering clear vision for one focal range.
- Bifocal lenses – Combine near and distance vision in one pair, ideal if you need both.
- Varifocal lenses – Provide seamless vision correction across multiple distances without visible lines.
- Thin lenses – Lightweight and ideal for stronger prescriptions.
- Polarised lenses – Reduce glare and protect your eyes, great for sunglasses and outdoor wear.
- Transitions lenses – Darken in sunlight and stay clear indoors, offering protection and convenience.
All lenses can be customised with coatings such as anti-glare, anti-scratch, or blue light protection to enhance comfort and protect your eyes. You can also choose from a full range of tints and finishes to suit your frame type and lifestyle.
Reglaze Sunglasses and Prescription Lenses
If you have prescription sunglasses, our reglaze service can also replace those lenses. Whether you prefer tinted, polarised, or transitions lenses, we can fit new prescription lenses into your existing sunglasses frames.
This option is perfect if your current lenses are scratched, your prescription has changed, or you simply want upgraded coatings to reduce glare and enhance vision in bright light.
Save Money and Reduce Waste
Reglazing offers the best of both worlds — new lenses fitted into frames you already love. You’ll get the same optical quality and vision performance as a new pair of glasses, but at a much lower cost.
By reusing your existing frames, you also help reduce waste and make a more sustainable choice. Many customers choose to reglaze their designer frames to protect their investment while keeping their glasses looking fantastic.
Compared to high street opticians, our prices are often a fraction of the cost — and you still receive premium-quality lenses and coatings. It’s the most cost-effective way to enhance your vision and extend the life of your glasses.
Quality You Can Trust
Every pair of lenses is produced by skilled technicians in our UK glazing lab. We use precision equipment to ensure your prescription is fitted accurately for the best possible results. Whether you’re replacing single vision lenses or upgrading to varifocals, every reglazed pair is checked for clarity, comfort and alignment.
We take care with every frame, ensuring your lenses are perfectly aligned for crystal clear vision. Our customers consistently praise the quality of our service, the value for money, and the results — often saying their reglazed glasses feel like new.
Comparing Lens Types
When choosing your new lenses, consider your vision needs:
- Single vision – For one prescription, such as distance or reading.
- Bifocals – For both near and distance with a visible dividing line.
- Varifocals – For smooth focus at all distances.
Our team can help you select the best lenses for your lifestyle and budget, whether you’re replacing standard lenses or upgrading to a specialist lens type.
