How to change eyeglass lenses

The process of renewing your eyeglass lenses

The lenses of your glasses are specially designed by your optician to perfectly fit your eyesight.
However, it may happen that over time or for different reasons you may need to change your lenses.
Here are the main reasons to change your eyeglass lenses and how to go about renewing them.

What are the signs that I should change my eyeglass lenses?

The first and most common sign that you need to change your lenses is blurred vision.
Indeed, when we have the impression in our daily lives that we can't see as well as we used to, this may be due to a deterioration in our vision.
In this case, as with any change in eyesight, it is essential to renew the lenses.
Similarly, recurrent headaches or feelings of dizziness may indicate a change in eyesight and therefore the need to change glasses.
In other cases, the lenses will have to be renewed because of the appearance of scratches on the glass.
Similarly, broken spectacle lenses cannot be worn for long and will need to be replaced.
In any case, spectacle lenses that no longer allow clear vision and therefore appropriate correction must be changed as soon as possible.

How to proceed to change my eyeglass lenses

When the need to change your eyeglass lenses arises, a prior appointment with the ophthalmologist is essential.
First of all, this medical visit enables the precise correction to be determined for the eyeglass lenses.
In addition, this appointment provides a prescription which is essential for the optician to issue the new lenses.
Besides, it's important to know that, even if glasses do not present any specific problem, it's advisable to make regular ophthalmological visits.
This allows you to monitor as closely as possible the evolution of your eyesight, which can vary from slight to major with advancing age.
Then, once the prescription has been handed over to your optician, the latter can design your new eyeglass lenses.
The professional will then fit them onto your existing glasses or onto a new frame if you have decided to renew completely your pair.
A test of your new lenses is essential to determine whether they provide you with clear and precise vision.
However, it is good to know that the first few days may be accompanied by slight headaches.
This is a common issue when wearing new eyeglass lenses, as the brain is adapting to the new visual correction.
