New prescription? Keep your frames.
Just Had an Eye Exam? Replace the Lenses in Frames You Already Own
If you just had an eye exam and received a new prescription, you do not have to buy a completely new pair of glasses. If your current frames still fit well and are in good condition, RenewLens can replace the lenses in your existing frames using your updated prescription.
You Can Use Your New Prescription Online
After your eye exam, ask for a copy of your prescription. Once you have it, you can upload it online and choose the lens type that fits your needs. RenewLens helps you use your new prescription without starting over with a completely new pair of glasses.
Why Replace Lenses Instead of Buying New Glasses?
Many people buy new glasses after an eye exam because they think that is their only option. But if your frames are still comfortable, stylish, and in good condition, replacing only the lenses can be a smarter choice.
Your Frames Still Fit Well
If your current frames are comfortable and sit properly on your face, you may not need to replace them.
Only Your Prescription Changed
If your vision changed but your frames are still good, new lenses can update your glasses without buying a full new pair.
You Like Your Current Style
Some frames are hard to replace. Lens replacement lets you keep the frame shape and look you already like.
