If you have a frame you like but the lenses are scratched or damaged, you may wonder if it is possible to change the lenses. The good news is that new lenses can be placed on most frames, provided the frame is in good condition. However, there are a few points to keep in mind before getting new glasses for your frame.
If you wear glasses, it is likely that you had to replace your glasses at some point. Whether you've lost a drink, scratched it or just become too big for your current pair, the replacement of glasses is a relatively easy process. But what if you want to change the lenses of your current glasses frame? Is that possible?
Yes, it is possible to change the lenses of a frame of glasses.
That's right, you can change the glasses of your glasses mounts! And it's not as difficult as you think. You'll just need some tools and some know-how. First, you have to remove the old glasses from the frame. To do this, gently pull them out of the frame by heating it in the hair dryer or by unscrewing the holding screw. Once the old glasses have been removed, you should clean the frame carefully. This will remove any dirt, dust or other debris that could prevent new lenses from adhering properly. Then you have to cut the new glasses to fit the frame. And that's where your skills stop net. The optician profession requires know-how, handling skills and especially knowledge and weaving (machine, clamps, screwdrivers...)
Yes, it is possible to change the lenses on a mount by asking an optician or via a website selling glasses online But it's not obvious. The workshop assembler will be more able to confirm whether or not it is feasible and it is not without risk. There is always a potential for your glasses to break when mounting lenses due to the normal wear of materials (old plastic case, worn welds...).
Our advice, go see your optician who will offer you wise advice by looking at the mount. In addition, a VAS is provided on a new frame because there are parts if needed when the model is in collection but this is not the case on a pair of used glasses.
