REGLAZE (LENS REPLACEMENT)

           Reglaze (Lens Replacement)    

Here at internetspecs.co.uk, we offer a very competitively priced Lens Replacement (Reglaze) service. 

• Perhaps your current lenses are damaged?
• Or maybe your prescription has changed?
• Perhaps you wish to change your lenses to thinner lenses
  or different lenses?

Rather than buying new glasses, you can keep your frame by posting your glasses to us and we will replace the lenses.

Our single vision reglaze price starts from £35 for Kodak CleAR 1.6 Thin & Lightweight Anti-Reflection (AR) coated lenses.

(We're not currently offering a reglaze service for varifocal or bifocal lenses).

Simply select which lenses you require, enter your prescription (or scan it (and then upload it on this page, or upload it on our 'Contact Us' page) or post it to us) and we will reglaze your frame and have your glasses back to you as soon as possible (usually in 5 to 10 working days).

• Our reglazing prices are for FULL FRAME glasses only. If you
  require your SEMI-RIMLESS (supra) glasses to be reglazed,
  there may be an extra cost. Please get in touch with us
  through our 'Contact Us' page for the semi-rimless price.
  We also do not reglaze rimless glasses unless we supplied
  the frame originally. If we did sell you the rimless frames,
  please get in touch with us through our 'Contact Us' page
  for the reglaze price.
   
• If you know your pupillary distance (PD) reading, please
  enter the figure onto our form opposite. However, we will
  be able to measure your PD from your glasses that you
  send to us if you do not provide us with a figure.
   
• Please post your glasses to our address found on our
  'Contact Us' page. Inside the box that you post your
  glasses in, please include your name and address. If it is
  possible, you could also include a copy of your
  prescription. We recommend sending them either by
  'Signed For' (insured up to the value of £50 or, if your
  glasses are expensive, by Royal Mail Special Delivery
  Postage (special delivery for the UK only). We will return
  them to you, for free, using either Royal Mail Special
  Delivery (UK) or Royal Mail 'Signed For' (rest of the
  world).
   
• Please note that if the frame of your glasses is in a
  poor condition, we will not be able to offer you our
  reglazing service.

Reglazing is a delicate process and very occasionally, a frame can break due to the dry solder (with metal frames) or brittleness (in the case of plastic frames). In the unlikely event that this occurs to your frame, we are sorry to say that we will not be liable for the cost of your frame.

• Our Lens Replacement (Reglaze) service offers Single Vision
  Kodak 'CleAR' 1.6 Thin & Lightweight Anti-Reflection (AR)
  Lenses* for just £35. These lenses will be noticeably thinner
  and more lightweight than standard 1.5 or 1.56 lenses. For
  those who are long sighted (a positive (+) Sphere (SPH)
  reading, we will use 1.6 Aspheric lenses which will make the
  centre of the lenses even thinner.
  
  (You may have noticed that our Cylinder (CYL) drop-down 
  forms for the left and right eye only go up to -2.00. However,
  for our 1.6 lenses, if you have a negative Sphere (SPH)
  reading, we are still able to supply, for free, CYL's higher than
  -2.00, up to -4.00. You won't be able to input this onto our
  forms so please either upload a copy of your prescription to
  us or tell us in the 'Any Additional Information' form).
   
• For those that have a high prescription (Sphere (SPH)
  reading above +/-2), we recommend our Kodak 'CleAR' 1.67
  Extra-Thin Anti-Reflection (AR) lenses for which our reglaze
  service is just £43.50. This will make your lenses even
  thinner and more lightweight. Our 1.67 AR lenses are
  always Aspheric, no matter what your prescription is.
  Aspheric lenses allow the lenses to be made thinner and
  flatter.
  
  (You may have noticed that our Cylinder (CYL) drop-down
  forms for the left and right eye only go up to -2.00. However,
  for our 1.67 lenses, if you have a negative Sphere (SPH)
  reading, we are still able to supply, for no extra cost, CYL's
  higher than -2.00, up to -4.00. You won't be able to input
  this onto our forms so please either upload a copy of your
  prescription to us or tell us in the 'Any Additional
  Information' form).
   
• Our Kodak 'CleAR' 1.74 Ultra-Thin Anti-Reflection (AR)
  lenses are the thinnest and most lightweight plastic lenses
  available. To replace your lenses with 1.74 AR lenses will
  cost £90. They are only available from us if you have a
  negative prescription (the Sphere (SPH) reading). We
  recommend choosing a 1.74 lens if your prescription is
  higher than -4.50 for Sphere (SPH) reading (i.e: from -4.50
  to -8.00). Our 1.74 lenses are also Aspheric which
  contributes to the lenses being thinner and flatter.
   
• Our 1.5 and 1.6 Transition® lenses (known as 
  'Photochromatic Lenses' and available in either grey,
  brown or green) change colour in sunlight meaning that
  you can use them during the day or at night. They are
  temperature dependent, darkening better in colder
  climates such as Northern Europe (in snowy conditions,
  they become extra dark due to the intense ultraviolet
  light. Transitions® need ultraviolet rays from sunlight
  to darken, meaning they're not always suitable for
  behind a car windscreen (Our Polarised lenses are 
  good during sunny driving conditions - please see
  below). The lenses without anti-reflection (AR) coating
  are darker in sunny conditions, whereas with 
  anti-reflection (AR) coating, they are better inside and
  at night because they are lighter in colour. The thin 
  1.6 Transition® lenses come with anti-reflection (AR)
  coating. The higher lens index value (1.6) causes
  reflections to increase. Having an AR coating helps
  to eliminate this.
   
• Our Kodak BluProtect lenses help to filter out blue
  light rays that can be found in artificial light sources
  such as mobile phones and tablets. There's been 
  research showing that too many blue light rays could
  disrupt our internal body clock that controls our
  sleeping and waking cycles. BluProtect comes in
  standard 1.5 thickness lenses and thin & lightweight
  1.6 lenses.
   
• Our 1.59 Anti-Reflection (AR) Polycarbonate Lenses
  are good for sport as they are tougher than normal
  lenses. They're known as 'plastic aluminium' - weight
  for weight, they're 4 times the strength of aluminium
  - the material is used for riot shields. Because they're 
  1.59, they're also thin lenses.
  
        Please note: our grey, brown and green 1.5
        Transitions®, our green 1.6 Transitions® and
        our 1.59 Polycarbonate lenses have a more 
        limited prescription range than we have for all
        our other lenses. Certain prescriptions will 
        require more expensive 'surfaced' lenses. If this 
        is the case for you, we will contact you very soon
        after you place your order to ask if you wish to
        pay the extra cost for 'surfaced' lenses or, in the
        case of the 1.5 Transition® lenses, if you wish to
        upgrade to 1.6 Transitions® in either grey or 
        brown, or if you wish to change or cancel your
        order.
   
• Our 1.53 AR Trivex lenses are impact resistant. They
  are just as strong as Polycarbonate lenses but are 
  even more lightweight and have slightly sharper
  vision, although Trivex lenses aren't as thin as the 
  1.59 Polycarbonate lenses are.
   
• Our 1.5 Polarised sun lenses are tinted and
  eliminate glare, offering 100% protection from
  harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. They're ideal for those
  sunny sunrises & sunsets when you can be 'blinded'
  by the sun, even when wearing 'normal' sunglasses.
  Polarised lenses must not be worn while driving at
  night. They come in 2 different colours: grey and
  brown.
   
• Our standard Kodak 1.5 Tinted Sun Lenses and
  our thin & lightweight Kodak 1.6 Tinted AR Sun
  lenses are 'fixed tint' (they are always coloured
  and so are for day use only). They will absorb
  85% of sunlight.
   

*  Occasionally, for those with a low prescription 
    (Sphere (SPH) reading around Plano (0) to 1, 
    sending us a pair of semi-rimless glasses, we may
    have to use a thicker lens (1.5 or 1.56) to enable
    glazing to occur. Here is the technical bit! - for
    semi-rimless glasses, the edges of the lenses 
    have to be thick enough to allow a groove to be
    cut to hold the nylon thread. On occasion, a 
    1.6 lens will be just too thin. Please be assured
    that we'll contact you before we do this to make
    sure you're happy with us using a thicker lens.

*  For the rare occurrence that you have a 
    positive (+) prescription Sphere (SPH) reading,
    you have a small pupillary distance
    measurement and you send us a wide frame,
    we may have to use a special lens (known as
    a 'surfaced' lens to get the centre of the lens
    in the correct place. In the unlikely event that
    this occurs for you, we will need to ask you for
    an additional payment. Please be assured that
    if this arises for you, we will contact you soon
    after you place your order to ask if you wish 
    to pay for the special lenses or if you wish to
    cancel your order.
 

On your prescription, abbreviations will more than likely be used:

•  ‘L’  will refer to your    ‘Left Eye’   
                        
•  ‘SPH’  will refer to      ‘SPHERE’    
 
•  ‘CYL’  will refer to       ‘CYLINDER’    
 
•  ‘ADD’  or  ‘NEAR’ refers to ‘NEAR
    ADDITION’
