How to replace the lenses in glasses/sunglasses purchased online (prescription lenses/colored lenses)

Hello

Eyeglasses/sunglasses brand from London

METRONOME®️, etc.

Dealing with unique items

Online select shop

This is METRONOME-Tokyo Online.

This article was written by staff member OKD

I am writing.

This time

"I bought it online

Regarding lens replacement for glasses/sunglasses

So I would like to write about it.

There are three ways to do this.

1. Take it to your local optician and ask for advice
2. Find a distributor of the brand and bring it in
3. Use the shop's own online lens replacement service

is.

To write the conclusion first :

3) Use the shop's own online lens replacement service

is the most recommended option from the perspective of accuracy .

1) and 2) are technically unacceptable

Of course not.

However, since we are not the manufacturer

In case of damage,

There is a risk that it could become very troublesome.

Basically, if you bring it in from another company,

Minor scratches may occur when replacing lenses.

I would like you to acknowledge this.

I think you will need to check with the store staff.

In that respect,

Online stores directly undertake

Online lens replacement service

In the unlikely event of damage, we will respond quickly.

(Because it is directly managed, it has stock)

The shop also partners with factories.

I'm used to handling frames.

I think that's also reassuring.

However, because of online interactions,

Therefore, it is more convenient than face-to-face interactions at stores, etc.

This means that it tends to take time.

I think there is.

Anyway,

Let's examine each one.

First, 1) take it to a nearby optician and ask for advice.

This seems like it would be relatively easy to put into practice.

The benefits are

If it's a major chain store

There are many directly managed stores.

If lens processing and replacement are technically possible

In most cases, it is OK to bring in products from other companies.

If all conditions are met, you can even receive it on the same day.

Disadvantages:

In addition to the processing fee,

There may be a fee for bringing in other companies.

The point is that there is.

Also, if it is technically not possible

In the first place, refusal

It's possible.

(In the first place, other companies' products are not allowed.

At that point, you're out...

However,

The consultation itself is free

With the stance of just listening

I think it's okay to go crazy.

Next, 2) Find a distributor that handles the brand and bring it in.

This is better than bringing it to a regular store (1).

I think it will increase certainty.

Among the dealers, the "official"

I recommend an agency.

Because they have a contract with the manufacturer.

This is faster than 1)

And you can expect accurate processing.

Disadvantages:

If there is no agency nearby

The problem is that this method is difficult to use.

Traveling far away to change lenses

It's quite troublesome,

If you can't receive it on the same day

You have to make two trips.

(This is quite time-consuming.)

So

2) Is it only available to those who have a dealer nearby ?

That's what I think.

If we turn the other way around,

If there is a dealer near you

It's quicker and more reliable to use them .

For METRONOME-Tokyo Online

Find an authorized dealer here

You can search for it.

(Still expanding!

Please visit your nearest eyeglass store.

If you can hear from us,

I'm happy!)

lastly,

3) Regarding online lens replacement.

As explained at the beginning

It takes a little longer than 1) and 2)

Certainty is the most guaranteed .

If the frame has interchangeable lenses

In principle, exchanges are OK.

(The frame itself does not allow lens replacement.

There are also special lens shapes and

For lenses larger than the standard,

(Additional processing fees may apply.)

Again, the benefits

1. Can be completed online
2. Reliable as the manufacturer undertakes the work directly
3. Flexible arrangements and delivery

Disadvantages:

1. Shipping costs may apply
2. Delivery will take approximately 7 to 14 business days.
3. For prescription lenses, you will need to obtain a separate "eyeglass prescription"

Among 1) to 3),

Every exchange has its pros and cons,

If you value speed, go to a regular store.

If you prioritize reliability, you can exchange online.

A rough understanding seems to be okay.

Online lens replacement service

If you wish to have prescription lenses made,

Visit your local ophthalmologist or eyeglass store

Obtain the information necessary to create a lens

You will need to receive it .

(This is called an "eyeglass prescription.")

The process for online lens replacement is as follows:

1. Add the frame and lens replacement service to your cart on METRONOME-Tokyo Online and pay in advance.
2. Wait for a call back from the person in charge and send image data of your "eyeglass prescription" via email.
3. After payment is confirmed via bank transfer, work will begin and you will receive a shipping notification once completed.
4. The product arrives at the specified address

Something like that.

Depending on the lens power

Because the amount is different

First, go to your eye doctor or eyeglass store.

Obtain lens information (eyeglass prescription)

Thank you.

Then from this page

The prescription, whether or not it has blue light blocking processing, etc.

Please select and make payment.

Once the contents are confirmed,

A representative will contact you shortly.
