Written by the company

Lensology is the UK’s leading specialist for reglazing glasses — fitting new prescription lenses into frames you already own. If your prescription has changed or your lenses are scratched, there’s no need to buy new frames. We offer a cost-effective, expert alternative trusted by thousands across the UK and beyond. While High Street opticians often discourage reglazing to push a new frame sale, we’re built around the opposite philosophy: keep the frames you love, save money, and get better service. Lensology brings together affordable online pricing with the personal, one-to-one care you’d expect from an experienced optician. Every customer speaks directly with an adviser who has real, hands-on optical experience. We’re also the UK leaders in prescription and non-prescription lenses for Meta smart glasses — including Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta — and we ship internationally. For those who prefer a face-to-face visit, our Watford showroom is open for reglazing consultations or browsing our curated designer frames and sunglasses. Premium lenses, great prices, proper customer service. That’s why people choose Lensology.

Easy trust worthy service

I appreciate the constant contact during the process. From the moment the order is placed to the moment they arrived. Even while being in Puerto Rico shipping was also pretty quick there was a slight delay because of having to pass a clearance check which is understandable but even with the delay they were quick to arrive once shipped.

Ray-ban reglaze

I recently had a pair of my existing glasses reglazed by lensology, they were made to my exact requirements and I was kept up to date on the status every step of the way until they were delivered through my door, they even included my old prescription lenses in the box. Overall I would highly recommend their service. Save yourself some money and reuse your older glasses and use lensology to finish the job, my glasses have been given a new life 👍🏼

Disappointing Repair

I am extremely disappointed with Lensology’s handling of a repair to my glasses.

I have used Lensology for my lenses before and have been happy with them, so I was particularly disappointed by how this situation has been handled.

I sent my glasses to Lensology because a hinge had broken. These are large, relatively heavy glasses, and I expected the replacement hinge to be suitable for the size and weight of the frame.

The replacement hinge broke within ONE WEEK.

I therefore sent the glasses back, expecting Lensology to recognise that the first repair had clearly not been successful and to find a more appropriate solution.

Instead, they have fitted what appears to be exactly the same type of hinge again.

I have photographs showing the original hinge alongside the replacement. The glasses now don’t stay securely on my face, making them effectively unusable.

I have explained all of this to Lensology, but incredibly, they disagree that there is a problem with the repair and believe the hinge is acceptable.

This is the part I find most frustrating. I am not asking for anything unreasonable. I simply want my glasses repaired properly so that I can actually wear them.

When a repair fails within a week, I would expect a company to take that seriously and look at whether the repair itself was appropriate. Instead, I feel that my concerns have simply been dismissed.

I am now left with expensive glasses that don’t stay on my face and a company telling me that the repair is fine.

I hope Lensology reconsider their position, because this is not the level of customer service I would expect from a company I have previously trusted with my glasses.

Very disappointing, and unfortunately I cannot recommend them based on this experience.

Hi Stacey,

We’re disappointed to read this review, particularly as we don’t feel it fairly reflects either the circumstances of the repair or where our correspondence was left.

We completely understand your frustration that the first repair failed so soon.

For clarity, the glasses were originally sent to us with an already broken hinge, and our involvement was specifically to repair that existing damage. When our initial repair subsequently failed, we took the glasses back and carried out the repair again.

For some context, the repair service itself cost £35 plus delivery. This is a relatively low-cost service that we offer to help customers retain frames that might otherwise need replacing. When the repair came back to us, we carried out the subsequent work and absorbed the associated return, handling and postage costs as part of putting things right.

Following the second repair, our technicians checked the replacement hinge and confirmed that it was securely fitted and suitable for the frame. We appreciate that the replacement hinge is not identical in appearance to the original, but replacement components are selected according to what our technicians consider appropriate for the particular repair. A difference in appearance does not in itself mean that the hinge is unsuitable.

You subsequently told us that the glasses were now too loose and would fall off when you looked down. We certainly did not dismiss this concern. We explained that the fit of the frame could be adjusted to make the glasses sit more securely and offered to arrange this for you.

In fact, our final message to you immediately before this review was: “We’re happy to arrange the frame adjustment for you and help get the fit more comfortable.”

We were therefore surprised to read shortly afterwards that your concerns had “simply been dismissed” and that you had been left with glasses you could not wear. We don’t believe that fairly reflects the assistance we have provided or the position in which we left the conversation.

We absolutely accept that the first repair failing so quickly was frustrating. However, we took the frame back, repaired it again, had the replacement hinge checked by our technicians and, when you subsequently raised a concern about how the glasses were fitting, offered to make a further adjustment to address that too.

We are currently closed for the Bank Holiday weekend, but we will follow this up with you directly on Tuesday to make sure we have offered every reasonable way we can to help resolve this for you.

We would much rather have the opportunity to get the glasses fitting comfortably again than leave you dissatisfied, particularly as you have previously used Lensology and been happy with our service.

Kind regards,

Neil Perry

The reglazing was considerably cheaper…

The reglazing was considerably cheaper then arranging the via my High Street optician however I did find it a bit of a struggle to understand the prescription and whether I was actually ordering reading lenses or distance. I was actually replacing sunglasses lenses so I had to hold a credit card over my eye area to make sure the lenses were correctly positioned.
I have my glasses back and I will test the reading sunglasses when I go on holiday.
It is definitely good from a cost/speed point of view but I am not sure I personally would be confident enough to order again for specs that I need to use every day

Thank you for the review, and I’m really pleased you were happy with the cost, speed and finished glasses.

I did just want to reassure you on one point, as I think you may have made the ordering process a little harder for yourself than it needs to be!

If your prescription contains both your distance prescription and a reading ADD, you don’t need to work out the prescription yourself. Simply supply us with the prescription and tell us what you want the glasses for – distance, reading, computer use, etc. – and our optical team works everything out for you, exactly as an optician would in practice. There’s no need to enter or interpret the prescription yourself.

The same applies to your pupil distance (PD). If you send us an existing pair of prescription glasses, we can usually take the measurement from those. If it’s a new frame and we don’t already have your measurements, we may ask for a simple photograph so we can measure it ourselves. Once we have your PD, it’s saved on your account for future orders, so you shouldn’t need to do it again.

The whole idea behind Lensology is that customers shouldn’t need to understand optical prescriptions or measurements – that’s our job!

I hope your new reading sunglasses are perfect for your holiday, and hopefully this gives you a little more confidence about trusting us with your everyday glasses next time.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I bought a pair of Meta Rayban Wayfarer…

I bought a pair of Meta Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses and had the option of ordering lenses to my prescription..... But I didn't, I went for the normal.
The glasses arrived and were utterly astounding with their capabilities.
Only one problem, they were blurred due to me needing prescription lenses.
Having spent all that money on the glasses, it was a shame not to feel comfortable with them.
The technology of them was amazing.
However, after some research to see how I could overcome this, I came across Lensology.
Did some research on them, most being positive, I went for it.
Got my latest prescription from my recent eye test at my local optician ans started the request to Lensology for them to make my replacement lenses.
I opted for single vision, as opposed to my general glasses which are bi focal.
Filled all that was required on the application form online. Paid the fee, which in my case was £63. absolutely amazing compared to other possibilities.
I practiced removing my Ray Ban lenses and re installing them....... no bother at all.
The new lenses arrived about 2wks after order. I was concerned if they would fit.
After quite a tense approach and, I must say some considerable stress and pressure, I did manage to get them in.
Hooray, nothing broken!!

After saying all that, I am utterly delighted with the replacements. And a big thank you to Lensology.

It’s great to hear that you found the online process straightforward, the £63 price such good value, and that your single-vision lenses arrived safely and fitted perfectly. We can certainly appreciate the tension involved in removing and replacing lenses in your Ray-Ban Meta frames — so we’re especially pleased to hear that everything went smoothly in the end!

Thank you for choosing Lensology and for sharing your journey with us. Enjoy your Ray-Ban Metas with your new prescription lenses! We'd love to serve you again!
