Give your favorite sunglasses a new life with prescription sunglass lens replacement from Rx Safety. If your favorite sunglasses still fit perfectly but the lenses are scratched, damaged, faded, or made with an outdated prescription, replacing the lenses lets you upgrade your vision without paying for an entirely new pair of premium eyewear.
Our sunglass relens service also gives you the flexibility to create something new from frames you already own. Replace worn sunglass lenses with updated prescription optics, upgrade to polarized or specialty sun lenses, or convert regular eyeglass frames into prescription sunglasses customized for your vision and outdoor needs.
Choose your prescription type, lens material, tint, and sun lens features to create custom sunglass lenses for driving, sports, outdoor activities, or everyday wear—all while keeping the frames you already know, enjoy, and trust.
When Should You Replace Prescription Sunglass Lenses?
Even high-quality sunglasses eventually need new lenses. Your frames may remain in excellent condition long after your prescription or lenses need to be updated.
You may want to replace prescription sunglass lenses if:
✓
Your distance or multifocal prescription has changed
✓
Your lenses have deep scratches or other damage
✓
A mirror or lens coating is deteriorating
✓
You want to upgrade to polarized lenses
✓
You need a different lens tint for specific activities
✓
You want to change your lens material
✓
You want to convert clear prescription glasses into sunglasses
A sunglass relens lets you make these changes without replacing the entire pair of eyewear, making it especially useful when you have a frame that fits well or that you simply don’t want to give up.
How Prescription Sunglass Lens Replacement Works
Creating your replacement sunglass lenses starts with selecting the options that best match your prescription, activities, and preferred appearance. Your existing frames are then sent to our optical lab, where your new lenses are custom-made and fitted.
Choose Your Prescription Type
Your custom sunglass lenses can also be made according to the type of vision correction you need.
- Single Vision lenses provide one prescription throughout the lens and can be used for distance or another specific viewing range.
- Bifocal prescription sunglass lenses provide separate distance and near-vision areas, making it possible to maintain reading correction while outdoors.
- Progressive sunglass lenses provide distance, intermediate, and near correction within one lens without the visible segment line found in traditional bifocals.
This flexibility allows you to enjoy sun protection without giving up the prescription correction you rely on in your everyday eyewear.
Choose the Right Lens Material
Lens material is another important part of your prescription sunglass lens replacement. Available options can include CR-39, polycarbonate, and high-index materials.
- CR-39 is known for excellent optical clarity and is a popular choice for many everyday prescriptions.
- Polycarbonate provides a lightweight, impact-resistant option that can be particularly useful for active lifestyles.
- High-index lenses can help reduce lens thickness and weight for stronger prescriptions.
The best material will depend on factors such as your prescription, frame design, activities, and selected lens features.
Choose Your Preferred Lens Color
The right sun lens can make a significant difference in outdoor visual comfort. Depending on your needs, options can include:
- Polarized Lenses: A polarized prescription lens replacement helps reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as roads, water, and other reflective environments. Polarization can be particularly beneficial for driving, fishing, and other outdoor activities where glare interferes with comfortable vision.
- Tinted Lenses: Custom tints let you choose the color and darkness of your sunglass lenses based on your preferences and activities. Different tint colors can be useful for driving, sports, and general outdoor use.
- Photochromic Lenses: Photochromic options, including Transitions lenses, respond to UV exposure by darkening outdoors and returning toward a clearer state indoors. They provide a versatile option for people who regularly move between indoor and outdoor environments.
- Mirrored Lenses: Mirror finishes add a reflective appearance to your sunglasses while helping reduce the amount of bright light reaching your eyes. They are available in a variety of looks for both performance and style preferences.
Custom-Fitted Lenses for Your Favorite Frames
Already have an optical frame you love? You can convert frames to prescription sunglasses by replacing the clear lenses with custom tinted, polarized, mirrored, or other sun lenses.
Custom replacement sunglass lenses can also be custom-fitted into almost any frame style, including deep wrap-around sports frames, aviators, oversized acetate frames, and rimless styles. Our optical lab custom cuts and edges your replacement lenses according to the requirements of your frame before securely fitting them into your eyewear. This precision helps maintain proper fit, optical clarity, and comfortable prescription vision.
