What Should You Do After Getting a New Eyeglass Prescription?

An eye exam tells you what vision correction you need. It does not automatically mean you need another pair of frames. If the frames you already wear are comfortable and structurally sound, you may be able to update only the lenses.

The simple idea: Your prescription changed. Your frames may not have. Renew only the part of your glasses that actually needs updating.
01

Keep a Copy of Your New Prescription

After your eye exam, keep a current copy of the prescription provided by your eye-care professional. You can use it when selecting your new lenses.

02

Decide Whether Your Frames Are Worth Keeping

If they still fit comfortably, look good and remain in suitable condition, replacing only the lenses may be the more practical choice.

03

Select the Lens Type for Your New Prescription

Choose the lens category that matches your prescription and everyday needs, then send us your frames for inspection and lens installation.

KEEP OR REPLACE?

Should You Replace Only the Lenses or Buy Completely New Glasses?

The answer usually depends more on the condition and fit of your frames than on the fact that your prescription changed.

✓

Lens Replacement May Make Sense If...

  • Your frames still fit comfortably
  • You like the style you already own
  • Your frames are in good structural condition
  • Your prescription changed but the frames did not
  • Your old lenses are scratched or worn
  • You want to upgrade the lens technology
!

Your Frames May Need Review If...

  • The frame is cracked or severely damaged
  • The bridge or temples are unstable
  • The frame material has become brittle
  • The frame is severely bent or distorted
  • You are unsure whether the frame can accept your new lenses

We inspect submitted frames before production and can contact you if there is a compatibility concern.

LENS OPTIONS

Your New Prescription Can Do More Than Restore Your Vision

A prescription change can also be a good time to reconsider the lens material or features you use every day.

→ Single Vision Distance, reading or prescribed single-focus vision. → Progressive Distance, intermediate and near vision in one lens. → Computer Lenses Task-specific options for screen and desk distances. → Professional Lenses Lens designs for office and work environments. → Prescription Sunglasses Tinted and polarized options for outdoor vision. → Transitions® Light-adaptive lens options for indoor and outdoor use.
WHY KEEP YOUR FRAMES?

Your Eye Exam Changed Your Prescription — Not Necessarily Your Glasses.

Frames are personal. The right pair already fits your face, feels familiar and matches your style. If that part of your glasses still works, replacing only the lenses allows you to update your prescription without starting over.

01 Keep the fit you already know
02 Keep a favorite or difficult-to-replace frame
03 Update only what changed — the lenses
04 Choose new lens materials and features
COMMON QUESTIONS

After-Eye-Exam Lens Replacement FAQs

Can I use my new prescription in the glasses I already own?

In many cases, yes. If your existing frames are compatible and in suitable condition, new prescription lenses can be made and installed in those frames.

Do I have to buy new glasses after my eye exam?

Not necessarily. If your frames still fit well and remain in good condition, you may be able to replace only the prescription lenses.

Can I order if I just received my prescription today?

Yes. You can begin selecting your lens options using your current prescription from the eye exam.

What if my prescription does not show my PD?

Pupillary distance may be provided separately from your prescription. If additional information is needed for your order, RenewLens can contact you before production begins.

Can my current frames be used for progressive lenses?

Many frames can accept progressive lenses, but compatibility depends on the frame dimensions, construction, condition and prescription. Submitted frames are reviewed before production.

Can I switch from clear lenses to Transitions®?

Transitions® options are available for eligible prescriptions and lens materials. You can review available options when choosing your lenses.

What happens if my frames are not suitable for lens replacement?

Frames are reviewed before production. If we identify a compatibility or condition concern, we can contact you before the lenses are made.

How do I send my glasses to RenewLens?

You can securely package the glasses yourself or request a free shipping kit to make the mail-in process easier.
