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.

Re-lensed my Ray-Bans with Lensology 3…

Re-lensed my Ray-Bans with Lensology 3 months ago. Big mistake. The prescription feels off—constant dizziness every time I wear them, even after trying to 'adjust.' For the premium price they charge, I expected OEM-quality optics, not a motion-sickness simulator. Huge regret. Save your money and go to a proper optician."

Hi Mo,

There are a number of reasons why someone may experience distortion or difficulty with new prescription lenses, so we'll be more than happy to assess this and help.

You mention that you've been trying to adjust to them for three months, but from what we can see, you haven't contacted us during that time to let us know there was a problem. Had you done so, we would absolutely have worked with you to investigate the cause and help resolve it – the same support you would expect from a good high street optician.

We certainly wouldn't expect a customer simply to persevere with lenses that they are struggling to use.

We will follow up with you today regarding the next steps. We don't want you to be left with something you're not happy with, and I sincerely hope you'll accept our help. I can only assume that perhaps you thought it was too late to contact us after three months, but we'd much rather you had reached out and given us the opportunity to help.

Kind regards,
Neil

Excellent Ray-Ban result, but repeated problems with a wrapped Oakley frame and missing factory lenses

I have a very mixed experience with Lensology. When the combination of frame and lenses works, the result can be excellent, but my case also showed the limitations and risks involved with more complex wrapped frames.

My first order was placed on 18 March 2026, and the final unresolved communication regarding my original Oakley lenses was on 7 August, so the overall process lasted nearly five months.

The Good:

My Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 varifocals are excellent. The Balanced Profile gives me natural distance and intermediate vision, including a very useful dashboard area, with no noticeable adaptation period. Lensology’s pricing is also very competitive compared with many high-street opticians.

The Oakley problem:

My Oakley Holbrook frame proved much more difficult. The original lenses had serious binocular problems in the reading zone. The first remake successfully corrected the reading diplopia and initially seemed fine, but after longer use I found significant eye strain and distortion in the distance and intermediate areas.

Lensology then agreed to another free remake. Their support confirmed in writing that the Exact DS Balance design and digital wrap compensation were specifically noted for this remake. Unfortunately, the final lenses were still unusable for me, producing severe spatial distortion, altered depth perception, a tunnel effect and horizontal compression.

Lensology ultimately accepted that the curvature of the Oakley frame was probably contributing to the intolerance and offered either a refund or a remake into a flatter Ray-Ban frame. I chose the Ray-Ban option, which worked perfectly.

Customer service:

During the reopened Oakley case I was initially quoted approximately £206 for another reglaze. I challenged this because it was part of an unresolved non-tolerance issue. Sophie subsequently apologised for the misunderstanding and Lensology agreed to carry out the remake free of charge.

Missing factory lenses:

When I returned the Oakley frame for the final time, I told Lensology that I was including the original factory non-prescription Oakley lenses and asked their lab to reinstall them after removing the failed varifocals.

The Ray-Ban glasses later arrived and were excellent, but the Oakley frame was returned completely empty. Lensology initially said the original lenses did not appear to have been received. Oscar then searched the laboratory and on 7 August told me that he had been unable to locate them and would see whether replacements could be ordered through their Oakley account.

Conclusion:

For a standard, relatively flat frame such as my Ray-Bans, my result from Lensology was excellent. For a wrapped/sports frame such as the Oakley Holbrook, however, my experience remained unsuccessful despite several attempts, so I would approach this type of reglaze with caution.

I would also recommend clearly documenting any original or factory lenses included in a parcel before sending the frame.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback and for sharing your experience with us.

Sophie is currently in email communication with you, and we’re pleased that you’re now discussing placing a new order with us for a new set of single-vision lenses.

We have also been able to clear up the misunderstanding regarding the pricing that was discussed during your Oakley case. When you had contacted us, we thought that you were discussing a new order and so we offered pricing options. When it became apparent that this related to a problem with a previous order, we cleared up the confusion and did not try to charge you any money.

Just to clarify, we have produced thousands of prescription lenses for wrapped frames, including Varifocals. Sometimes, however, wrapped frames can be optically difficult for some people to adjust to as their curvature causes them to behave different optically. To resolve this, we offered a brand new Ray-Ban frame at cost-price, for no profit to ourselves, and remade the lenses into that frame which you are since happy with.

Regarding the missing dummy lenses, you had agreed with us to send your Oakley frame back to have the dummy lenses re-installed; unfortunately, we did not seem to receive these dummy lenses. We have since ordered a new set of dummy lenses free-of-charge for you from EssilorLuxottica and they have arrived, which I have emailed you about.

Kind regards,
Oscar

Scarlett had been brilliant with me via emails

Was tempted to cancel my order due to a couple factors and Scarlett had reassured me as well as talked me through what other options there were

I feel the customer service was brilliant and I have used these guys before due to my right eye prescription being quite bad and needing a dedicated laboratory for my prescription for special types of frames (such as rimless frames)

I look forward to receiving them and will post an update if possible
