Our Journey

Our Story

From One Simple Idea...

Reglaze Glasses Direct was founded on a simple belief.

If your favourite glasses still fit and you love wearing them, why replace them?

For years, people were being told to buy completely new glasses when often all they really needed were new lenses.

We thought there had to be a better way.

We Were One of the UK's First Online Reglazing Specialists

Back in 2007, sending your glasses away to have new lenses fitted was a new concept.

Many people thought it couldn't be done safely.

We knew it could.

By combining qualified optical knowledge with specialist glazing techniques, we built a service that allowed customers to keep the frames they loved while benefiting from the latest lens technology.

Thousands of Customers Later...

Today we've reglazed well over 100,000 pairs of glasses.

Everything from everyday reading glasses to designer brands, vintage frames, rimless Lindbergs and specialist sports eyewear.

Every pair is glazed here in the UK by our own experienced team.

We're Still an Independent Business

We're not part of a national chain.

We're not owned by a large optical retailer.

We're a specialist company focused on doing one thing exceptionally well—replacing lenses in customers' own frames.

That focus allows us to offer advice and workmanship that many larger retailers simply can't match.

Our Values Haven't Changed

Since 2007, our philosophy has remained the same:

• Honest advice.
• Quality workmanship.
• Fair pricing.
• Looking after customers as we'd want to be looked after ourselves.

Those values have helped thousands of customers return to us again and again.

Looking Ahead

Optics continues to evolve with new lens technologies, coatings and materials appearing all the time.

Our commitment remains the same: combining the latest lens technology with traditional optical knowledge to help customers get the very best from the glasses they already own.
