Got an Eye Exam? Use Your Prescription Online
If you just finished an eye exam and received a new eyeglass prescription, your next step does not have to be buying a completely new pair of glasses. You can use your prescription online to choose new lenses and update frames you already own.
Choose your lenses online and provide your prescription during the ordering process.
Use Your Prescription With the Lenses You Need
Start with the lens category that matches your prescription and everyday vision needs.
You Do Not Have to Buy Glasses at the Optical Store
If you just finished an eye exam, you may feel pressure to buy glasses right away from the same place. But once you have your prescription, you can compare your options and decide how you want to update your glasses.
RenewLens allows you to use your new prescription online to replace the lenses in frames you already own. Instead of automatically replacing the entire pair, you can decide whether your existing frames are still worth keeping.
Start your lens order using the prescription from your recent eye exam.
Review lens types and pricing before deciding what is right for you.
Reuse frames you already like if they are suitable for new lenses.
Select from available lens designs and materials for your prescription.
What You Need to Use Your Eyeglass Prescription Online
The process starts with the prescription from your recent eye exam. From there, you choose your lens type and provide the information needed for your order.
Your Current Prescription
Keep the written or digital prescription provided after your eye exam.
Your Lens Choice
Decide whether you need single vision, progressive or another available lens type.
Your Frames
If you are replacing lenses in existing glasses, the frames will be sent in for inspection and lens installation.
How to Use Your Eye Exam Prescription Online
Once you have your prescription, you can begin your lens order online without needing to select another pair of frames.
Get a Copy of Your Prescription
Use the written or digital prescription from your recent eye examination.

Additional Information Needed?

Choose Your Lenses and Start Online.
Use the prescription from your eye exam to begin your lens replacement order.
Choose the Lens Type That Fits Your Prescription
Your prescription tells you the vision correction you need. Your lens selection determines the type of lens you will use every day.
What If You Only Need New Lenses?
If your frames still fit comfortably and remain in suitable condition, you may be able to update only the lenses instead of buying an entirely new pair of glasses.
Keeping Your Frames May Make Sense If...
- Your frames still fit comfortably
- You like the style you already own
- The frames remain structurally sound
- Your prescription changed but your frames did not
- You simply want to upgrade your lenses
Your Frames May Need Review If...
- The frame is cracked or broken
- The material is heavily worn or brittle
- The hinges or bridge are unstable
- The frame is severely distorted
- You are unsure whether it can accept your new lenses
