Sunglass Lens Replacement for New or Existing Frames

Prescription Sunglass Lens Replacement Online

Need new lenses for sunglasses you already own? RenewLens provides sunglass lens replacement for compatible new or existing frames. We can replace scratched or outdated lenses, update your prescription, or add prescription sunglass lenses to compatible frames purchased elsewhere.

Choose tinted or polarized prescription lenses online and send us your frames using free prepaid shipping. We prepare and install your custom lenses before shipping your completed sunglasses back to you.

How Much Does Sunglass Lens Replacement Cost?

Prescription sunglass lens replacement at RenewLens starts at $115 per pair. The final price depends on the lens material, prescription, tint, polarization and selected treatments.

Pricing for every available option is shown before you place your order. Free shipping is included both ways.

Replacement Lenses for New or Existing Sunglasses

You may not need to purchase another complete pair when your sunglass lenses become scratched, damaged or outdated. If your current frames still fit comfortably and remain in suitable condition, we can make new prescription lenses to fit them.

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

Tinted Prescription Sunglass Lenses

Tinted prescription lenses combine your vision correction with a selected sunglass tint. Available tint choices are displayed with the eligible products on this page.

Tint preference can depend on appearance, lighting conditions and how you plan to use your sunglasses. Tint darkness and color do not replace the need for appropriate UV protection.

Polarized Prescription Sunglass Lenses

Polarized lenses are designed to reduce reflected glare from horizontal surfaces such as roads, water and snow. They can be useful for driving, boating and other bright outdoor activities.

Polarized prescription sunglass lenses provide your prescribed vision correction together with polarization and available UV-protective lens features.

Why Replace Your Sunglass Lenses?

• Keep sunglasses that already fit comfortably
• Replace scratched, worn or outdated lenses
• Update your sunglasses after a prescription change
• Add prescription lenses to compatible new sunglass frames
• Choose tinted or polarized prescription options
• Select thinner materials for stronger prescriptions
• Avoid purchasing another frame unnecessarily

Sunglass Lens Materials and Options

Available materials and upgrades depend on your prescription and selected lens type and may include:

• Standard plastic lenses for lower prescriptions
• Lightweight, impact-resistant polycarbonate
• Thinner high-index materials for stronger prescriptions
• Solid prescription tints
• Polarized prescription lenses
• UV-protective and scratch-resistant lens features

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

Frame Compatibility

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

Frames that are cracked, severely bent, brittle or heavily worn may not be suitable for lens replacement. Our team reviews each frame before production and contacts you if there is a compatibility concern.
