KEEP YOUR SUNGLASSES · REPLACE THE LENSES
Keep the sunglass frames you already like and replace scratched, outdated, non-prescription or damaged lenses. Many compatible sunglasses can be turned into prescription sunglasses with polarized, tinted, progressive or other available sunglass lens options.
REPLACE SUNGLASS LENSES
Yes. Replacing sunglass lenses is possible for many frames. If the frame remains stable and compatible, you can replace scratched, damaged, outdated or non-prescription lenses without automatically replacing the frame.
This is useful when you already like the fit, shape, color or designer style of your sunglasses and simply need better lenses.
TURN SUNGLASSES INTO PRESCRIPTION GLASSES
In many cases, yes. Existing non-prescription sunglasses can often be converted into prescription sunglasses by replacing the original lenses with lenses made for your prescription and the compatible frame.
Customers search for this in many ways — turn sunglasses into prescription glasses, change sunglasses lenses to prescription, put prescription lenses in my sunglasses and prescription sunglass lenses for my own frames. The goal is the same: keep the frame and add the vision correction you need.
Preserve the fit, style and frame you already chose instead of starting with an entirely new pair.
Compatible frames can be fitted with lenses made for your current prescription.
Select among compatible polarized, tinted, progressive and other available sunglass lens options.
Choose the sunglass lens category that fits your outdoor vision needs.
FRAME COMPATIBILITY
No. Many sunglasses can be converted, but not every frame can accept every prescription or lens design. Frame shape, lens size, curvature, prescription strength, pupil distance and available lens materials can all affect compatibility.
CURVED & WRAP SUNGLASS FRAMES
Sometimes. Curved sunglass frames are more demanding because the lens sits at a stronger angle around the face. The feasibility of prescription lenses depends on the complete prescription, frame curvature, lens dimensions, optical-center placement and the lens designs available for that frame.
More wrap generally creates more demanding optical and fabrication requirements.
Prescription strength and direction can affect what is practical in a curved frame.
Larger and unusually shaped lenses can affect thickness and compatibility.
The requested polarized, tinted, progressive or other lens option must be available for the frame.
SUNGLASS LENS OPTIONS
Your replacement lenses can be selected for the type of outdoor vision and appearance you want, subject to prescription and frame compatibility.
POLARIZED REPLACEMENT LENSES
Yes, many compatible sunglass frames can be fitted with polarized replacement lenses. Polarization helps reduce reflected glare, which can be especially useful for driving, water, travel and bright outdoor environments.
Polarized lenses can also be prescription lenses when the selected product, prescription and frame are compatible.
Explore Polarized Sunglass Lenses →GLASSES TO SUNGLASSES
Often, yes. A compatible eyeglass frame can sometimes be fitted with tinted, polarized or other sunglass-style prescription lenses, effectively turning that frame into prescription sunglasses.
Frame shape, lens size, construction and the requested prescription still need to work with the chosen sunglass lens design.
KEEP THE FRAME YOU ALREADY OWN
You do not need to convert sunglasses to prescription in order to benefit from relensing. If the frame is still suitable but the lenses are scratched, damaged, worn or no longer meet your needs, replacement lenses may let you keep the frame.
Replace worn lenses while preserving the frame and style you already like.
Update prescription sunglass lenses without automatically buying a new frame.
Consider a compatible polarized, tinted, progressive or other available option.
