Brand and ordering questions

Essilor and Shamir Single Vision FAQs

Can Essilor or Shamir lenses be installed in my existing frames?

In many cases, yes. Compatibility depends on the condition and construction of the frame, your prescription and the selected lens. Frames are reviewed before production.

Is Essilor better than Shamir for single vision lenses?

There is no universal winner. Compare the specific lens design rather than only the brand. Prescription, personalization, material, visual habits and price can make one option more suitable for an individual wearer.

Is Shamir Relax a progressive lens?

Shamir Relax is positioned as an enhanced single vision design, not a traditional progressive lens. It includes additional support in the lower area for eligible close and digital viewing needs.

Can both brands be ordered in high-index or light-adaptive materials?

Some combinations are available, but not every design, material, treatment or prescription can be combined. Use the options shown on the individual product and contact RenewLens if compatibility is uncertain.
