Can You Put Existing Prescription Lenses into New Frames?
Yes.
If your prescription lenses are still in good condition, we can often remove them from your damaged glasses and fit them into another compatible frame.
This is an ideal solution if:
-
Your glasses frames have broken.
-
Your prescription hasn't changed.
-
Your lenses are still in excellent condition.
-
You want to save money compared with buying completely new glasses.
-
You have expensive varifocal, bifocal or specialist prescription lenses.
Our dispensing team will assess your lenses before fitting to ensure they're suitable for reframing.
Why Replace Your Frames Instead of Buying New Glasses?
Replacing broken glasses frames while keeping your existing lenses can be a practical and cost-effective solution.
Benefits include:
✔ Lower cost than purchasing completely new glasses
✔ Keep expensive varifocal or specialist lenses
✔ Reduce waste by reusing perfectly good prescription lenses
✔ Maintain a prescription you're already comfortable with

Our experienced technicians carefully check:
