It’s simple: you choose your lenses online, send us your frames, and we professionally install brand-new lenses. Our optical lab handles cutting, edging, and mounting the lenses to fit your frame perfectly. Once complete, we ship your glasses back to you ready to wear. Most orders are finished and returned in a few weeks after we receive your frame. Once completed we will email updated tracking information.

No. Replacement lenses allow you to keep the frames you already love. As long as your frame is in good condition, we can install new lenses without requiring a new purchase. Many customers replace lenses in designer or favorite frames they don’t want to give up.

We offer replacement lenses for single vision, reading, bifocal, trifocal, and progressive designs. You can also choose high-index glass for stronger prescriptions, anti-reflective coatings, polarized sun lenses, transitions, and more. You get the same optical quality found in new glasses — just mounted into your existing frame.

Production and shipping times depend on your frame and lens type:

Turnaround time is typically 10-15 business days from the moment we receive your frame. If it is one of our frames or a frame that we have done lenses for in the past, it shaves time off production.

Complex prescriptions, specialty coatings, or high-index materials may take a little longer, but most orders are completed quickly. We will notify you if we have any issues with our lab or the prescription job we are completing for your frames.

Yes. Replacement lenses are often much more affordable than buying new frames and lenses. If you already have a frame that fits comfortably, replacing lenses is the smartest option. Many customers save 30–60% compared to buying new glasses, especially with designer frames.

Sending your frames ensures the best results for your lens order:

1. Perfect Fit: Your frames are precisely traced to cut lenses to the exact shape and size needed.

This process guarantees a professional fit and long-lasting quality for your new lenses.

Segment Height is the vertical measurement from the bottom of your lens to the top of the segment line in multifocal or progressive lenses. It ensures the transition between lens zones (distance, intermediate, and near) aligns with your natural line of sight.

How to Measure Segment Height:

1. Wear your chosen frames: Ensure they sit comfortably in your natural position.
2. Stand in front of a mirror or have someone assist: Measure from the bottom edge of the lens to the center of your pupil.
3. Get a professional fitting: An optician typically measures segment height during an in-store fitting for the most accurate results.

Pupil Distance (PD) is the distance, measured in millimeters, between the centers of your pupils. It ensures that the lenses in your glasses are correctly aligned with your eyes, providing clear and comfortable vision.

How to Measure PD:

• Measure Your Own PD: Stand 8 inches from a mirror, close one eye, and use a ruler to measure from the center of one pupil to the other.
• With a Friend’s Help: Ask a friend to measure your PD while you keep your eyes still, looking at a distant object.

Remember to measure your PD 3–4 times for accuracy. The average adult PD range is 54–74mm, and for children, it’s 43–58mm.
