Hello,
London's first sunglasses brand
Online stores selling METRONOME
METRONOME-Tokyo Online
This is OKD.
This time, glasses/sunglasses
How to change lenses when buying online
I would like to talk to you.
Recently, various things
Now it is available for sale on EC,
Glasses/sunglasses are no exception.
If you wear sunglasses,
As long as you don't get the size wrong, there won't be any problem.
However,
Buying glasses with prescription lenses,
Or replace the lenses of the glasses you purchase.
What should you do if you want to?
For prescription lenses,
The first thing to consider is the current state of your eyes.
You need to understand.
This is what is known as an "eye examination."
At opticians, etc.
When you buy a frame
You can also have your eyes examined,
Have your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist
Get your eyeglasses prescription issued
There is another way.
Also, even if the lenses are not prescription lenses
If you have the opportunity, measure your interpupillary distance (PD)
If you measure it,
This will help you choose a frame.
I won't go into details, but
Knowing your interpupillary distance (PD)
Find glasses/sunglasses in the right size for you
It will be easier to choose.
Now, let's talk about lens replacement.
This time
"I bought glasses online,
I want to replace that lens.
I will talk about this premise.
There are three main ways.
- Bring your frames to a local eyeglass store and have them replaced
- Bring it to an authorized dealer of the store where you purchased it
- Apply for lens replacement online
First of all, 1)
Unless the frame design is complex
Generally, you will be accepted.
Conversely,
- Extremely large lens size
The frame is very thin
- The design makes it prone to breakage when pressure is applied
In some cases, you may be refused.
Also,
The frame I bought online
If the product is from another manufacturer
The "fee for bringing in a product from another company" will be included in the replacement fee.
It will be added on.
For frames from our shop
I took it to a famous eyeglass store to try it out.
Resonance's MINX
I was able to exchange it for the exchange fee plus the carry-in fee.
Also,
I heard that Delonge of METRONOME
There is a surcharge due to the large lens size.
It was presented at the time of the estimate.
From the perspective of an eyeglass store,
Anything that is recognized as a product of another company
It will be a more expensive replacement.
There is a possibility that the frame may be damaged,
I guess they don't want to touch other companies' products as much as possible.
Next, we will take the product to an authorized dealer (2).
I think this is a relatively safe choice.
As an agency,
than eyeglass stores that don't.
Getting used to the frame that will be brought in
I think there is.
And it depends on the agency
In some cases, an eye exam can be performed,
If you want prescription lenses
You can get lens information on the spot.
I think it's possible.
The disadvantages are:
The inventory and types vary depending on the agency.
There are differences,
There are also differences between those who can and cannot have eye examinations.
And the larger the company, the more stores it has.
Because there is no
Depending on your area
Using an agency can be difficult.
However,
You can try on the actual item and examine it carefully.
If you can also make prescription lenses,
I think using an agency is the best option.
Please feel free to use it if you are in the area.
Finally, I will talk about 3).
Recently, online lens replacement has become available.
The number of online shops is increasing.
Our shop is no exception to this rule.

Lenses can be interchanged even when combined.
For example, prescription lenses,
It can also be made to cut blue light.
Yes, it is possible.
Or colored sunglasses lenses

How to use:
First, you will need to submit your eyeglass prescription.
"Eyeglass prescription" includes the necessary information for lens creation.
The information is recorded
You can get it issued at an ophthalmologist or eyeglass store.
Once you get your prescription,
Purchase a frame from an online store,
Or use a frame you already own.
Please mail it to a lens replacement company.
We will keep the frame,
Lens processing and frame fitting
It will then be mailed to you.
The disadvantages are
In short, it takes time
Because the frame will be kept at the factory
The frame will be temporarily removed from your hands.
In addition, there is also the transportation time to the factory,
Online lens replacement at our shop
It will take approximately 7 to 14 business days from payment to delivery.
There are also disadvantages,
Online shopping
