Replace Lenses After Prescription Update
What Happens After a Prescription Update
When your prescription changes, it means your vision needs correction through updated lenses. However, many people assume this automatically requires buying a completely new pair of glasses.
In reality, your frames are not affected by your prescription. Only your lenses need to be updated.
This means you can continue using your existing frames while simply replacing the lenses with your new prescription.
Why You Do Not Need New Frames
A prescription update does not impact the structure or usability of your frames. If your frames are still in good condition, there is no need to replace them.
- Not damaged or broken
