from £30.00
Color:

Coating Removal:

Reuse your own lenses (as long as they’re still a working prescription) and add or change a tint to refresh your glasses.
ETA: ~1–2 weeks

⚠️ Important:

  • Light surface scratches may be okay, but heavily scratched lenses may not be suitable for tinting.

  • Lenses with coatings (e.g., AR/anti-reflective, mirror, photochromic) can still be tinted — we can remove the coating for you if needed for £30.

  • Example: Tinting your own lenses with an existing AR coating (including AR removal) starts from £60.

Lens tinting – FAQs

Can you tint any lenses?

No — lenses that are scratched or have surface coatings (e.g., anti-reflective, mirror, photochromic) cannot be tinted successfully.

What tint options do you offer?

Solid and gradient tints in common colours (grey, brown, green, etc.) from light cosmetic to dark sunglass depths. Tell us your preference on the Check-In Form.

Will tinting affect my prescription?

No — tinting changes light transmission, not prescription power. We’ll assess lens integrity before proceeding.

Can you tint varifocal or bifocal lenses?

Yes, provided they’re uncoated and in good condition. We’ll confirm suitability after inspection.
