Are Your Frames Suitable?
Most glasses can have lenses replaced, but we’ll always check first.
We may advise against replacement if:
-
Frames are damaged or fragile
-
They won’t safely hold new lenses
-
They are heavily worn
Your safety and quality always come first.
Do You Replace Lenses in Ray-Ban Meta Frames?
Yes. We offer our own replacement prescription lenses for most Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta frames.
As frame designs and prescriptions vary, we recommend bringing your Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta glasses into our Ilkeston store for assessment. Our optical team can check the frame and advise you on the most suitable replacement prescription lenses.
