Fit Your Own Lenses Into a New Frame

£45.00

Has your frame broken but your lenses are still fine? We can assess your lenses and fit them into a new frame. Send your broken frame and lenses for sizing; we’ll source best-match frame options, then cut/edge and refit your lenses into the frame you choose (new frame purchased separately).

Price
Fitting service from £45 (frame cost separate).

Turnaround
Estimated 1–2 weeks from when your lenses/frames arrive.

Good to know

  • Works best when the new frame shape/size closely matches your current lenses.

  • Some lenses (very small/old, chipped, rimless, high-curve wraps) may be unsuitable — we’ll confirm after assessment.

  • If reuse isn’t viable, we’ll advise alternatives (e.g., reglaze with new lenses).

How it works

  1. Order online to receive your order number

  2. Complete the Frame Check-In Form (upload photos if you can)

  3. Post your lenses + old frame (and any candidate new frame) with your name + order number inside the parcel

Shipping notes
Our address is on your order confirmation. Please send by a tracked service and include your name + order number — we also receive recycling frames and don’t want yours misrouted.

Assess, size and fit your existing lenses into a new best-match frame. Cutting/edging and final alignment included. New frame purchased separately.

What’s included

  • Lens inspection for chips, edge integrity and coating condition
  • Sizing + best-match frame guidance (shape and eye size matters)
  • Cutting/edging (where safe) and careful refitting into the chosen frame
  • Final alignment and comfort adjustments
Turnaround: typically 1–2 weeks from receipt.

Compatibility notes

  • Best results when the new frame’s eye size, bridge and shape closely match your current lenses.
  • Some lenses aren’t suitable (heavily chipped, very small/old, cracked, extreme wrap/high-curve, or badly crazed coatings).
  • Rimless/supra (nylon cord) fits require correct drilling/grooving positions; we’ll confirm viability first.

How it works

  1. Order the fitting service to receive your order number.
  2. Complete the Frame Check-In Form (include photos and any preferred frame styles).
  3. Post your lenses + old frame (and any candidate new frame) with your name + order number in the parcel.

Fit your own lenses – FAQs

Can you fit my lenses into any new frame?

Not any frame — we need a very similar eye size/shape and bridge to keep optics and fit correct. We’ll advise best-match options after sizing.

Will my lenses be trimmed or re-edged?

Sometimes, yes — a small amount of edging may be needed to suit the new frame. If that would compromise the lens (too small/weak edge), we’ll advise before proceeding.

How do I know if my lenses are reusable?

If the lenses are heavily chipped, cracked, very old/brittle, or have severe coating damage, reuse may not be safe. We inspect first and confirm what’s realistic.

Will you damage my lenses during the refit?

We work carefully and won’t force a lens into an unsuitable frame. If the risk is too high (brittle lenses, weak edges, poor match), we’ll stop and advise options before proceeding.

What if reuse isn’t possible?

We’ll recommend alternatives — typically reglazing with new lenses in your chosen frame — and we won’t proceed without your approval.

Do I need to send the old frame as well as the lenses?

Yes, ideally. The old frame helps with sizing, shape matching, and checking how the lenses were originally mounted.
