At Lensology, reglazing is what we specialise in. Our expert optical technicians craft premium lenses to your prescription and fit them securely into your existing frames, giving you a fresh new pair of glasses without the high-street price tag.
Whether you’re upgrading to premium coatings, switching to Transitions®, or simply refreshing scratched lenses, here’s everything you need to know about reglazing — and why thousands of customers choose Lensology every month.
What Is Reglazing?
Reglazing is the process of taking your current glasses frames and fitting them with brand-new lenses. Instead of replacing the whole pair (and paying designer prices again), you keep your existing frames and only change the part that affects your vision.
Reglazing is perfect if:
- You’ve had a new prescription
- Your lenses are scratched or worn
- You want to add anti-glare, blue light, Transitions® or tinted lenses
- You’ve invested in frames you love (designer, vintage or sentimental)
- You want to save money vs buying a new pair on the high street
Reglazing keeps things simple — your frames stay the same, your vision gets a full upgrade.
When Should You Reglaze Your Glasses?
There are a few clear signs it’s time to reglaze:
Scratched or damaged lenses
Even small scratches can distort light and reduce clarity. If your coatings are peeling or your lenses look “foggy” around the edges, reglazing will bring them back to crystal clear.
Your prescription has changed
If you’ve recently had an eye test, updating your lenses is essential for comfort, accuracy and long-term eye health. Reglazing lets you do this without replacing frames you’re perfectly happy with.
You want better performance from your glasses
Upgrading your lenses can dramatically improve comfort and clarity — especially with options like:
- Anti-glare
- Blue-light protection
- Transitions®/photochromic
- Thinner, lighter high-index lenses
- Tinted or polarised sunglasses lenses
Your frames are in good condition
If the frames still feel comfortable, secure and stylish, reglazing gives them a second life. Many people reglaze the same frames multiple times over the years, keeping the style they love while their lenses evolve with their vision.
Why Reglazing Is Better Than Buying New
You can add prescription lenses to Meta glasses in minutes. Here’s how it works:
Buying new frames every time your lenses need replacing is unnecessary — and expensive. Reglazing gives you:
Huge savings vs high-street prices
High-street opticians often charge £150–£600+ for new lenses.
Lensology lenses start from £16–£34, with premium upgrades still significantly cheaper.
Keep the frames you love
When you already have a pair that suits your style and fits perfectly, why change them?
Better lens choice
Choose from:
- Premium ULTIMA anti-glare
- Blue-light protect
- Transitions®
- Polarised
- Tinted, mirrored or bespoke fashion tints
- High-index (1.6 – 1.74)
Often, these options aren’t even available in-store.
Faster turnaround
High-street opticians can take weeks. Lensology has priority processing and fast-track options.
Sustainable eyewear
Keeping your existing frames reduces waste — great for your wallet and the environment.
