Broken lens on sunglasses. Replaceable?

population · 2014-08-14 16:35:10

I have a good pair of persol sunglasses that I have had for 10 years and unfortunately they had an accident and one of the lenses is broken. I was wondering if i is possible to replace one polarised lens? Obviously that style is long out of stock but do any companies cut a glass? Not prescription btw. Thanks

Most places would be able to do that for you although the shade might be slightly different. Would be worth just popping into your optometrist to find out.

Asked in Vision Express today. They said they would have to replace both lenses with plastic ones and that would cost 150 lids. Seems very steep to me?

You can definitely get cheaper but not for less than 100 Euro.
