How does it work?
Lens replacement fits new lenses into frames you already own. Choose your eyewear, lens design, material and optional finishes in our lens form to see current VintageOptika prices. Standard selections are shown upfront; unusual or customized work may require a revised quote, which the team will discuss with you.
What lens replacement changes—and what it keeps
Relensing changes the optical lenses while keeping the frame. It can be useful when the lenses are scratched, your prescription changes or you want a different lens option. It does not automatically repair a damaged frame. Before ordering, check for cracks, loose joints and distortion and describe any concerns. Start with a frame assessment if the structure is uncertain.
Choose the lens design first
The live form may include clear nonprescription lenses, readers, single vision, bifocal and progressive options. The design describes how the lens is used; the material and finishes are separate selections. Available choices depend on the current catalog and frame construction. Our lens design comparison helps explain those distinctions without choosing a prescription for you.
How ordering works
- Choose Lens replacement, enter your email and identify your eyewear and frame construction.
- Select the design, a compatible material and any optional finishes. Provide prescription information through the route shown in the form. Use the Not sure option if you need advice before placing an order.
- For a full order, enter the requested shipping details and lab priority, then review the estimated total before submitting.
- After acceptance, use the free prepaid inbound label supplied for your order and follow the instructions to send your frame. If a label is unavailable, contact the team before mailing it.
What the upfront price means
Material, finishes and service priority are loaded from VintageOptika’s current catalog. The estimate changes with your selections, and the server recalculates the standard order total. Do not rely on an old screenshot or a price in an article. Work outside the normal options—such as unusual fitting needs or a customized request—can change the price. The team will let you know about that additional work and revised cost before proceeding. See how lens pricing works.
Preparing the frame and prescription
Do not remove the existing lenses yourself. They and the frame may help the team understand the current fit. Send the complete pair, securely packed, with the order number. Enter prescription values as supplied rather than guessing at missing numbers. Some designs need fitting information in addition to the written prescription; contact the team when that information is not available. Read the prescription checklist and packing guide.
What a consultation does
Selecting Not sure lets you request lens advice without creating a complete lens order. A consultation is a conversation about the options, not a shipping authorization. Wait for the team’s guidance and an accepted order before sending your glasses.

Common questions
Can I keep my existing frames?
Often, provided the frame is suitable for new lenses. The team may need to assess its condition, construction and fitting requirements before confirming the work.
Are prices shown before I order?
Yes. The form shows current standard lens options and their prices and calculates an estimate. Unusual or customized work can require a revised cost that the team will communicate.
Does a lens consultation include a shipping label?
A consultation request is not a full order. Wait for guidance and an accepted order before mailing your frame or expecting shipping instructions.
