Bringing the Market for Replacement Lenses into Focus

143 million adults in America wear prescription eyewear. These consumers plan to spend about $173 on each glasses purchase, a recurring expense every 1-3 years. Most of the time, the frames of glasses outlive the lenses. Be it due to scratches, breaks, or prescription changes, lenses are the most replaceable part of glasses. So why not save money by only replacing lenses?

 

Replacement lenses can upgrade any frames to include the latest in glasses technology. That extends from multifocals to coatings to tints. For companies that provide replacement lenses, the time required to receive new lenses is as little as 5 days. First, customers ship their frames and lens requirements to the lab. New lenses are created and fitted to the frames. Finally, the new product is shipped back to the consumer. No customer has to worry about the delicate and precarious process of lens installation. Upgrading glasses is easy!
