Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 3,554 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that the online ordering process is completely seamless, and prices are significantly more affordable compared to traditional high street opticians. People are also exceptionally pleased with the brilliant quality of the replacement lenses and the regular email updates received throughout the entire procedure.

A few reviewers mentioned that extended turnaround times or waiting periods for special items could occasionally cause minor inconvenience when planning trips.

Written by the company

Lensology is the UK’s leading specialist for reglazing glasses — fitting new prescription lenses into frames you already own. If your prescription has changed or your lenses are scratched, there’s no need to buy new frames. We offer a cost-effective, expert alternative trusted by thousands across the UK and beyond. While High Street opticians often discourage reglazing to push a new frame sale, we’re built around the opposite philosophy: keep the frames you love, save money, and get better service. Lensology brings together affordable online pricing with the personal, one-to-one care you’d expect from an experienced optician. Every customer speaks directly with an adviser who has real, hands-on optical experience. We’re also the UK leaders in prescription and non-prescription lenses for Meta smart glasses — including Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta — and we ship internationally. For those who prefer a face-to-face visit, our Watford showroom is open for reglazing consultations or browsing our curated designer frames and sunglasses. Premium lenses, great prices, proper customer service. That’s why people choose Lensology.

Great result...

Good service, glasses came back looking like new. I had the extra clean and service so very happy with the result. The new lenses are Transitions, total cost £130 great value considering Vision Express quoted £200.
My only slight criticism is the delivery time suggests just a couple of days for standard lenses with their fast track service - but they still took 7 days, 10 from post to delivery. Not a problem for me but if you're expecting fast it could be! Overall I'm very happy
NOTE:
following the reply from Barry, I'd suggest you check your own website for accuracy as GEN S grey ULTIMA is listed as 1-3 days

Hi Grant,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

We're glad to hear your glasses came back looking like new and that you're very happy with the Transitions lenses and Extra Clean & Service. It's also great to hear you felt they offered excellent value compared with the quote you received from Vision Express.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the turnaround time. Just to clarify, our standard turnaround for single-vision clear ULTIMA lenses in stock is 1–3 working days with our priority service. However, the ULTIMA Transitions lenses you selected have a longer turnaround of 5–6 working days with priority service, as compared to our standard in-stock clear lenses.

We're pleased that the longer turnaround wasn't a problem on this occasion and, most importantly, that you're very happy with the finished glasses.

Thank you again for choosing Lensology and for your recommendation! We look forward to serving you again and hopefully earning the missing one star!

Kind regards,
Barry

I had a really positive experience with Lensology

I had a really positive experience with Lensology. I took in my own frames along with my prescription to have the lenses fitted, and the whole process was so easy and straightforward.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone was friendly, helpful and professional. I was served by Sunny, who was lovely and made me feel completely at ease. Nothing was too much trouble.
The price was fantastic too – I paid around half of what I would have expected to pay at either Boots or Specsavers, which made the experience even better.
I’m really pleased with the service, the finished glasses and the value for money. I would definitely recommend Lensology to anyone looking for friendly service, quality and great prices.
Thank you, Sunny and the Lensology team.

Exceptional Service

Exceptional Service. I’ve used Lensology on two occasions now. They deglazed my scratched Ray Bans and another pair. Both were total write offs. Their service was quick with informative emails along the way.
Would very highly recommend!

Great business

Great business, was cheaper than purchasing new prescription lenses. Plus it repurposed an old frame which I would have otherwise thrown away/recycled. Queries were dealt with quickly, the ordering process was easy and clear to follow. The turn around & shipping was within the outlined timescale. Would use this company again

Hi Emily,

Thank you so much for your fantastic review!

It's so wonderful to know that you found Lensology to be such a great-value alternative to purchasing new prescription glasses. Glad that our reglazing allowed you to give your existing frame a new lease of life rather than having to throw it away.

We're also pleased that you found the ordering process clear and straightforward, and that your queries were dealt with quickly. It's great to hear your glasses arrived within the outlined turnaround and shipping timescales too.

Thank you for choosing Lensology and for your kind recommendation. We're thrilled to hear you'd use us again and look forward to helping you with your next pair!

Warm regards,

New Lease of Life on Vintage Frames....

I'm torn between shouting about this company from the rooftops and gatekeeping them because they're so brilliant.... Got myself a long coveted pair of vintage YSL sunglasses. BUT the lenses were scratched. A little Google later and I ended up here, whole process was simple from start to finish and I now have the perfect giallo-inspired sunglasses with a fabulous gray gradient.

Hi Emma,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We're elated to know that we could help bring your long-coveted vintage YSL sunglasses back to life. There's something particularly special about restoring a favourite vintage frame, so it's wonderful to hear that your new lenses have given them a whole new lease of life.

We're thrilled that you found the process simple from start to finish and that you're so pleased with the finished result. A giallo-inspired look with a fabulous grey gradient sounds like a fantastic combination!

And we completely understand the dilemma of wanting to shout about us from the rooftops while keeping us a secret!

Thank you for choosing Lensology and for your wonderful recommendation. We hope you enjoy your beautifully restored sunglasses and be with us for your next pair!

Warm regards,
Barry

Ordering replacement prescription sunglasses lenses

Ordering replacement prescription lenses for my sunglasses with Lensology was a breeze. Their online ordering process or option to simply get a tracking pack and let them advise and quote was great. Excellent communication throughout built trust and I was very pleased with the results. The cost was reasonable too. Would definitely recommend Lensology.
