How To Change Lenses in Glasses or Sunglasses Frames

Lenses can be taken out of your frames and replaced easily. Most lenses go in through the front of the frame and out also through the front of the frames.

 

How To Take Lenses Out Of Frames.

Push Lens from the top middle part of the frames through the inside of the frame - The lenses should come out easily from the front part of the frames. Be careful of frames such as Raybans, Maui Jims as they often contain glass lenses which may shatter if not handled properly. Check if they are glass prior to removing the existing lenses.

Tips - If there is a lot of resistance when pushing the lenses out from the back to front of the frames, using both thumbs on one area - ie. top inner corner (push the back of lens to dislodge the lens and out through the front of the frame.)


How To Put in The New Lenses into Your Frames.

Lenses go from the front of the frame into the frames, not from the inside.

Make sure the Right Lens for the Right Eye etc and they are the right way around.

Step 1.  Using both thumbs, start pushing the inner top corner of the lens into the frame bevel via the FRONT of the frame.

Step 2. Now the top inner corner of the lens is in the frame, we go in a clockwise matter to lodge the lens into the bevel in each corner.

Step 3. Continuing with the bottom outer corner and  finally the inner bottom corner with both thumbs.

Double check that all corners are in and secure.
