Reducing Waste: How to Re-Use Your Own Lenses with a New Frame. New Frames for Broken Specs.

Updated: Mar 3


Two pairs of glasses rest on an order confirmation paper. The setting has a gray surface and papers, creating a neutral, simple mood. These are examples of our ability to reframe your broken glasses lenses into a similar frame.
Choose a frame in-store that we can trim your lenses into while you wait, or send your glasses to us in the post for a near match!

Broken specs? Need new frames for own glasses lenses? Need us to fit your own glasses lenses to a new frame while you wait?


Reducing Waste: How to Re-Use Your Own Lenses with a New Frame

Why not reuse your lenses and get a new glasses frame fitted in-store or online to save money?

We can help you save money by fitting your expensive lenses from broken glasses into our new frames. Visit our store for our while-you-wait service: choose a frame, and we'll cut or fit your prescription lenses into it within 10 minutes! We can't match exact pd's but we'll be near to it. If you're too far to visit, you can still use our service by mailing your glasses to us. To use our "new frames for broken glasses" service without visiting, first place an order with our online reframe tool (follow the link)


We will match a quality frame similar to your broken one, whether it's plastic, metal, semi-rim, or fully rimless. You can also add notes from the cart page when ordering.

The process is simple as we don't require a prescription, and it doesn't matter when the lenses were supplied or your last eye test was, as we are just refitting your lenses for longer use. You're also being eco-friendly.

In-store fitting your own lenses to new frames is a quick process. Frames start with unbranded styles with options up to our designer collections. Check out our reviews below by happy customers who used our service in-store and online, from all over the UK including the Midlands to Scotland, London, Northern Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and cities like Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, and more. We hope to help you save money and provide the perfect new frame with your lenses fitted.
