Don't want to get new glasses - reglazing

[BendingSpoons]

I've just been to the opticians and my prescription has changed. I really like my current frames and didn't see any today that I would happily swap for. I have Googled reglazing and been a bit put off. Has anyone successfully had new lenses put in an old frame? Have you done this at a physical store? How long did it take? I don't have a spare pair of glasses, so don't want to rely on contacts for too long. I'm wondering if it's best to approach an independent opticians? My motivation is liking my current frames more than cost, so not too worried about this, providing it's not extortionate.

Yes, several times but it depends on both the lenses and the frame(s) you choose. Optician can advise.

Yes, got my daughter's glasses reglazed last week. Take them to the retailer you bought them from. Specsavers did DD's. Although they no longer make her frames, because they were Specsavers ones, they could order the new lenses and we just had to leave the glasses with them for an hour.

Also if you like your frames, check the frame details on the arms and see if you can buy them on Ebay. We've done that in the past.

Finally check with Boots. Even if your current frames aren't on display, they may still be able to supply them.
