What are single-vision lenses?
If you wear glasses to see far, near or to drive, single-vision lenses are your solution: one focal point and maximum sharpness for the activity you need most. And when your prescription changes or they get scratched, there's no need to change the frame.
We make your single-vision lenses in leading labs with the same materials and processes as the big high-street opticians, but without their overheads: high-quality prescription lenses at a price up to 80% lower. If you spend many hours on screens, office lenses are an alternative; and if you also have presbyopia, try progressive lenses.
Distance vision
Driving, walking, watching TV or using your glasses daily with sharp vision.
Near vision
Reading, looking at your phone, sewing or any precision task without straining your eyes.
Intermediate distance
Working at the computer or in office settings at the perfect distance.
When should you replace the lenses?
If the frame is still fine but the lenses no longer offer comfortable, clear or safe vision, it's time to renew them.
- The lenses are scratched
- You see blurry or strain your eyes
- Your prescription has changed
- You get headaches when wearing the glasses
- The anti-reflective coating is peeling or cracking
- Glare bothers you when driving at night
- You want to add a blue-light filter for screens
- You want to turn them into prescription sunglasses
- You want thinner, more aesthetic lenses
Price of replacing single-vision lenses
The replacement starts from 30 €. The final price depends on your prescription, the index, the frame and the treatments you choose.
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Prescription | High prescriptions may need thinner lenses. |
| Thinning index | The higher the index, the thinner and more aesthetic the lens. |
| Frame type | Rimless, semi-rimless or curved frames require more technical work. |
| Treatments | Anti-reflective, blue-light filter, photochromic, hardening or UV can change the price. |
| Lens type | A basic clear lens doesn't cost the same as a sun, polarised or photochromic one. |
If your prescription or frame needs a special solution, we'll contact you before continuing.
Unsure about the index?
If you have a high prescription or aren't sure, ask us before ordering and we'll help you choose.
Ask for adviceWhich thinning index do I need?
The index determines the lens thickness: the higher the index, the thinner the lens.
| Index | Recommended for | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 | Low prescriptions | Affordable, comfortable option. |
| 1.6 | Medium prescriptions | Thinner and more resistant than 1.5. |
| 1.67 | High prescriptions | Thinner, more aesthetic lens. |
| 1.74 | Very high prescriptions | Maximum thickness reduction. |
