Reglaze Glasses - Lenses Into Your Own Frames
Reglazing Glasses - Fit New Lenses Into Your Own Frames
We've all been there - your prescription has changed, but your favourite glasses still look and feel perfect. Unfortunately, many opticians will tell you that your barely worn two-year-old frames might not survive new lenses. Reuse your own glasses and sunglasses, don't succumb to the throw away society.
At Retrospecced, we're here to change that and promote sustainable eyewear choices.
Our prescription lens replacement service is perfect for vintage frames, designer eyewear, or any beloved glasses you want to keep wearing. As specialist lens fitting experts, we work with all frame types and materials.
Reuse Your Own Frames and Save Money
If you'd like to fit new lenses into your own glasses, we can help. There's no need to buy new frames - our experienced glazing team can reglaze the most weird and wonderful frames. As long as your frame is in good condition, it's very rare for frames to break during the reglazing process.
Our reglazing fee covers our expert fitting service and is charged in addition to the lens price: £15 for full frames, £25 for half-rimless frames and £50 for full rimless frames.
How to Get Your Glasses Reglazed
Order your reglaze online, choosing your frame type and lenses, and post your frames to us in a sturdy case to protect them during transit.
