Can I get prescription sunglass lenses in my own frame?
People with impaired vision need correction in all circumstances.
This is why many people opt for a pair of sunglasses with corrective lenses.
The question is whether corrective lenses can be fitted to our current pair of sunglasses, and what the advantages are of doing so.
Fitting corrective lenses to your sunglasses
A pair of sunglasses is not only a sun protection device, but also an aesthetic accessory that forms an integral part of our look.
A person suffering from a sight problem may thus wish to keep their current pair of sunglasses.
Other more economic or ecological considerations may also motivate the desire to keep one's own sunglasses.
In fact, it is generally possible to have corrective lenses fitted to your own sunglasses frame.
Indeed, most quality frames sold in optical chains can be adapted to other lenses.
The same applies to a pair of eyeglasses whose correction needs to be changed.
It is also possible to keep the old frame and opt for photochromic lenses or lenses with more options.
However, to do so, it is essential to check beforehand that the frame is still in good condition and fits properly.
In fact, it's essential that corrective sunglasses are mounted on a frame that's appropriate and well-fitting.
The wisest thing to do is to ask your Optical Center optician for advice before making any final decision.
Only your optician will be able to determine whether corrective lenses can be fitted to your old frame.
The benefits of keeping your own frame
For many years, the tendency has been to change glasses as soon as a new correction is needed.
However, this usual habit is slowly changing as people become aware of the consumer excesses that this represents.
As a result, a frame that is in good condition and needs no repair is no longer automatically replaced when the lenses are changed.
This is the case for fitting corrective lenses to sunglasses, but also for changing the correction on prescription glasses.
It should be pointed out that keeping your frame is a highly eco-responsible gesture.
What's more, you can save money by not having to buy a new pair.
Keeping your old frame is therefore one of the economic and ecological initiatives in the field of optics that should be promoted.
Finally, people who are used to their look, like it and don't want to change it can thus keep the same pair of glasses.
