Still happy with your existing glasses but need new prescription lenses?
Our Reuse Your Frame service allows you to send us your current frames and have new prescription lenses fitted without buying a completely new pair of glasses.
Choose your frame type and lens options when placing your order, then send your glasses to our reglazing lab with your prescription and order confirmation. Once the new lenses have been cut and fitted, your glasses will be returned to you by recorded delivery.
If you would like more information about frame suitability, available lens types and how the process works, see our reglazing glasses service page.
Reglazing is carried out using your existing frames, so the condition and suitability of the frame must be checked before the work can be completed.

The best guide for you is to look at your current spectacles. The measurements in millimeters can usually be found on the inside of the frame, on the arm or on the nose bridge. They will look something like this: (example) - 46-20-135
If the measurements are worn away then a mm ruler can be used to measure your old glasses.
1st number - Lens width: Related to your eye size, and typically in the range of 46 (small) to 56 (large) (where the lens is)
2nd number - Bridge width: This is where you nose sits. Typically this is between 15 and 20.
3rd number - Side Length: 130 (short), 135 (medium) and 140 (long) (from lens to the end piece of your ear) We don't quote this number as a high percentage of frames are size 135
