Introduction

Eyeglass lenses correct vision and provide the clarity that the wearer requires. While frames are important (and look cool, too!), lenses provide the functionality to glasses.

Nobody that uses glasses likes a pair of faulty glasses. Having a working and stable lens is key for lots of people. If your glasses lenses have become non-functional due to cracks, excessive scratching, or an outdated prescription, you can revive them while keeping the same frames using this lens replacement guide.

Before using this guide make sure you have all the tools required and have a safe workplace.
