Signs You May Need Lens Replacement for Glasses

  • Scratches or peeling coatings — Deep scratches, small pits or peeling anti-reflective coatings can affect visual clarity and cause light to scatter across the lens.

  • Blurred vision — You may notice more difficulty reading signs, seeing clearly at a distance or focusing on text on a screen.

  • Eye strain or headaches — Frequent eye fatigue, squinting or dull aches around the eyes may indicate your vision needs have changed. An eye test can help determine whether your prescription needs updating.

  • An outdated prescription — Vision can change over time, so your current lenses may no longer match your latest prescription.

As a general rule of thumb, many people replace lenses in existing frames every 1 to 3 years, but lens replacement should depend on your prescription, lens condition, frame suitability and individual vision needs.

FAQs

What types of replacement lenses are available?

1001 Optometry offers single-vision distance and reading lenses, multifocal lenses, non-prescription plain lenses, different lens thicknesses and selected lens coatings such as anti-glare and scratch resistance. Sunglass lenses and other specialised lens options may also be available depending on the frame.

Do I need a current prescription for lens replacement?

Yes. You can upload a photo of your prescription or provide your optometrist’s details. Our team may be able to contact them on your behalf, depending on their release process and your consent. You can also email your prescription later to contactus@1001optical.com.au. If your prescription is no longer current or you’ve noticed a change in your vision, you can book an eye test with our optometrist.

How long does eyeglass lens replacement take?

The timeframe for eyeglass and sunglass lens replacement can vary depending on your prescription, lens type, coatings and frame. As a guide, prescription single-vision glasses generally take around 7–10 business days to process. Customised lenses, including some higher prescriptions, prism lenses or lenses for rimless and half-rimless frames, may take around 10–14 business days. Our team can provide a more specific estimate once your needs have been identified.

Can you add anti-glare coating when replacing my lenses?

Yes, anti-glare coating can be added to selected replacement lenses. It is designed to reduce reflections on the lens surface, which may be useful for everyday activities such as driving, working on screens or spending time under artificial lighting.

Can all types of glasses frames have their lenses replaced?

Not always. It depends on the frame's material, shape, age, construction and overall condition. Our team will assess the frame before proceeding and let you know whether lens replacement is a suitable option.

Can you replace the lenses of the glasses from another shop?

Absolutely. We'll check the frame first to make sure it’s in suitable condition and can accommodate your prescription and chosen lens type.
