Full-Rim Metal Frames
A very common frame type and often suitable for replacement lenses, subject to the frame being structurally sound.
Can Your Existing Frame Be Re-Lensed?
Often, yes. 4 Eyes Optical currently accepts a wide range of frame styles for replacement lenses, and Glasses Fix can assess your frame in person.
Full-Rim Plastic Frames
Many plastic frames can be re-lensed. We check for brittleness, cracking, distortion and general condition before proceeding.
Semi-Rimless Frames
These frames use a retaining cord or similar system and need lenses prepared specifically for that design.
Rimless Frames
Rimless glasses require accurate drilling and mounting, so frame condition and lens material selection are especially important.
Wrap & Specialty Frames
Wrap, Oakley-style and other specialty frames can require different lens curves, fitting methods and prescription considerations.
Cycle / Frame Inserts
Prescription inserts can also be fitted with replacement lenses where the insert and prescription are suitable.
Older or favourite frames:
Age alone does not automatically rule a frame out, but older materials can become brittle or fatigued. Bring the actual frame in so we can assess whether it is sensible to re-lens or repair.

Repairs, Adjustments & Lens Transfers
Repairs & Adjustments
Bring in loose, crooked, uncomfortable or damaged glasses for assessment. What can be repaired depends on the frame material, component and extent of the damage.
Lens Transfers
In some cases existing lenses may be transferable to another frame, but this depends heavily on lens shape, size, prescription positioning and the destination frame.

Prescription Safety Frames — Eyres by Shamir Australia
Safety eyewear is different from ordinary glasses. The frame and lenses work together as a certified protective system, so the complete pair must be selected and manufactured appropriately.
Eyres Safety Frames
Eyres by Shamir is an Australian safety-eyewear brand with more than three decades of experience. The range includes prescription and non-prescription safety eyewear designed for demanding work environments.
Certified Prescription Safety Eyewear
Eyres states that its prescription safety spectacles carry markings showing compliance with applicable safety standards, including AS/NZS 1337.6 for prescription safety eyewear in Australia and New Zealand.
Safety Frame Materials
Eyres uses advanced frame materials such as TR90/TR90+, polycarbonate and thermorubber, with designs that may include wraparound protection, soft-grip components and adjustable temples.
Prescription Lens Materials
Eyres lists Shamir Polycarbonate, Trivex and selected 1.67 lens solutions among its prescription safety lens materials, depending on the frame, prescription and required design.
Important safety note:
Eyres advises that prescription safety glasses are a certified safety appliance. If a certified pair sustains a significant impact or requires a prescription-lens replacement, the complete safety pair may need to be remade so certification is maintained. Do not modify certified safety frames or lenses outside the manufacturer’s approved process.
