Single Vision Prescription Lenses

Single Vision Lens Replacement Online

Need new single vision lenses without buying another pair of glasses? RenewLens can replace the lenses in frames you already wear or install prescription lenses in compatible new frames purchased elsewhere.

Single vision prescription lenses correct one field of vision. They can be made for distance, reading or computer use according to your prescription. Choose your lenses online and send us your frames using free prepaid shipping.

Need replacement lenses for glasses you already own? RenewLens provides single-vision prescription lens replacement for compatible existing frames and frames purchased online. Whether you need distance, reading, or computer lenses, you can replace lenses in your current glasses without purchasing another complete pair.

How Much Does Single Vision Lens Replacement Cost?

Single vision lens replacement at RenewLens starts at $89 per pair. The final price depends on the lens material, prescription and selected upgrades.

Available options include standard plastic, polycarbonate and thinner high-index materials. You can also select Transitions®, polarized lenses, anti-reflective treatments and other available upgrades. Pricing is displayed before you place your order, and shipping is free both ways.

What Are Single Vision Lenses?

Single vision lenses contain one prescription power across the usable lens area. Unlike progressive lenses, they are designed to correct one primary viewing distance.

• Distance lenses: For driving and everyday distance vision
• Reading lenses: For close-up tasks and reading
• Computer lenses: For a prescribed working or screen distance

If your prescription includes an ADD power and you want distance, intermediate and reading correction in one pair, consider progressive lens replacement.

Replace Single Vision Lenses in New or Existing Frames

You do not necessarily need new frames when your prescription changes or your lenses become scratched. If your current frames still fit well and remain in good condition, replacing only the lenses allows you to keep the style and fit you already prefer.

We can also add new prescription lenses to many compatible frames purchased online or from another optical retailer. Every submitted frame is reviewed for condition and compatibility before lens production begins.

Why Replace the Lenses Instead of Buying New Glasses?

• Keep frames that already fit comfortably
• Avoid paying for another frame unnecessarily
• Update an expired or changed prescription
• Replace scratched, damaged or worn lenses
• Upgrade to thinner materials or improved lens treatments

Single Vision Lens Materials and Upgrades

The appropriate lens material depends on your prescription, frame and preferences. Available choices may include:

• Standard plastic lenses for lower prescriptions
• Lightweight and impact-resistant polycarbonate
• Thinner high-index materials for stronger prescriptions
• Transitions® lenses that adapt to changing light
• Polarized prescription lenses for outdoor glare reduction
• Anti-reflective and other available lens treatments

Review the recommended prescription range shown with each material or use our lens thickness comparison before selecting an option.

How Single Vision Lens Replacement Works

1. Select your preferred single vision lenses and material.
2. Provide your prescription now or send it after ordering.
3. Use your own secure box or request a free shipping kit.
4. Send your new or existing frames using the prepaid shipping label.
5. We prepare, install and inspect your new prescription lenses.
6. Your completed glasses are shipped back to you.

Lens production generally takes 3–7 business days after we receive your compatible frames and valid prescription. Shipping time is additional.

Frame Compatibility

We can work with many plastic, acetate, metal, full-rim, semi-rimless, rimless and sunglass frames. Compatibility depends on the frame’s material, construction and condition.

Frames that are cracked, severely bent, brittle or heavily worn may not be safe for lens replacement. Our team reviews each frame before production and will contact you if we identify a compatibility concern.
