Changing lenses in Ray-Ban glasses: It's that simple

Your Ray-Ban frames fit perfectly. The style is timeless. But your vision? It has changed since you bought them. Or maybe you finally want to use your Ray-Ban sunglasses as proper prescription glasses. That's where many get stuck: can you really change lenses in Ray-Ban glasses?

The answer is yes. And it's simpler than you think.

Why change the lenses in your Ray-Bans instead of buying new ones?

Ray-Ban makes fantastic frames. Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Aviator – the models have become icons for a reason. They are of high quality, they suit most faces, and they never go out of style.

But when your glasses prescription changes, you suddenly face a choice. Should you spend thousands on a brand new pair of Ray-Bans? Or is there a smarter way?

Changing only the lenses in your existing frames is both more economical and more sustainable. You keep the frames you love, the ones that already fit perfectly, and get new lenses ground exactly to your current prescription. It can be that simple.

Which Ray-Ban models work for prescription lenses?

Most Ray-Ban models are excellent for new prescription lenses. Some favorites:

Ray-Ban Wayfarer have a substantial lens area and thick frames that easily accommodate prescription lenses. Perfect for both single vision and progressive lenses.

Ray-Ban Clubmaster with its classic browline design works just as well. The generous lens shape provides ample space, even for stronger prescriptions.

Ray-Ban Aviator can be a bit trickier depending on the prescription, as the lenses are curved, but often work fine for lighter prescriptions.

Generally: the larger the lens area and the more comprehensive the frame, the easier it is to mount new lenses. Thin metal frames or very small lens shapes can sometimes be more challenging with higher prescriptions.

How much does it cost to change lenses in Ray-Bans?

The price varies depending on where you go, but at Swopti you get clear prices without hidden fees:

Single vision lenses: 1,899 SEK

Progressive lenses: 3,499 SEK

Lenses without prescription: 999 SEK

The price always includes thin lenses, two-way shipping, anti-reflective coating, scratch resistance, and dirt repellency. If you want sun lenses, add 300 SEK, photochromic lenses cost an extra 1,000 SEK, and blue light filter or polarization cost 500 SEK each.

Compared to buying new complete Ray-Ban prescription glasses, which often cost 3,000 SEK or more, it's a significant saving.

How does it work in practice?

There are no complicated visits to the optician. No appointment bookings. The process is smooth from start to finish:

1. You order online at swopti.co and provide your glasses prescription

2. Swopti sends a prepaid shipping box to your home

3. You pack your Ray-Ban frames and send them via Postnord

4. The lens lab grinds new lenses and carefully mounts them in your frames

5. After about 10 working days, you receive your glasses back, ready to use

No stress, no waiting for your turn in the store. Just your old favorite frames with brand new possibilities.

What if the lenses don't fit?

A common concern is that the new lenses won't fit properly or that the frames will be damaged. Swopti works with experienced lens masters who handle frames with care. Each pair is mounted by hand, meaning your Ray-Bans are treated gently throughout the process.
