Lens Replacement — We Fit New Lenses to Frames You Already Own [ single vision / progressive / sunglass tint / blue-light filter / high-index aspheric ]
Send us a frame — any frame, from any shop — and we will put new lenses in it. Lenses are cut and fitted in Sabae, Fukui, the town that makes most of Japan's eyewear.
You do not need an eye prescription
This is the part most people do not expect. Send us the glasses you wear now and we read the power off your existing lenses. No optometrist visit, no prescription form. If you would rather send a prescription from your own optometrist, that works too — whichever is easier for you.
Choosing your lens
Prices are shown above in your own currency and update as you change the options. The tiers are:
- Non-prescription (plano) — clear lenses with no correction
- Single vision — three bands, by the combined strength of your prescription (SPH + CYL)
- Progressive (varifocal) — three bands, same idea
A blue-light filter and colour tinting can be added to any of them. All lenses are high-index aspheric.
Not sure which band you fall into? Choose the option marked “not sure which is right for me”. It is priced at the lowest band; if your prescription turns out to be stronger, we will tell you the difference before we start any work, and you can cancel free of charge.
How long it takes
One week to ten days from the day your frame reaches us. If you buy a frame from us at the same time, count one to ten days from your order.
Ordering from outside Japan
We do this regularly, including for customers in Hong Kong and the United States. Email info@phase-design.jp before ordering and we will confirm the lens, the total, and where to send your frame. Please ship prepaid — we cannot accept freight-collect shipments from abroad.
What we cannot do
We work at a distance, so we cannot adjust the fit on your face the way a shop can with you in the chair. Frames that are cracked, badly distorted, or rimless designs in poor condition may not survive re-glazing — send us a photo first and we will tell you honestly.
