Should you replace the lenses or buy new sunglasses? First, make sure you know your exact frame.

How to Identify Your Sunglasses for Lens Replacement

Before purchasing replacement lenses, confirm your brand, model, and size. Having these details ensures a perfect fit and prevents compatibility issues.

1) Check the brand

Look for the brand name or logo on the temples (inside or outside) or on the bridge. This helps narrow your search to the correct collection before selecting the exact model.

2) Locate the model number

On the inside of the temple arm, you should see the model name or code (often a mix of letters and numbers). Write it down exactly as shown, since even a dash, suffix, or additional letter (like “XL” or “S”) makes a difference in lens compatibility.

3) Identify the lens size

Next to the model code, you’ll usually find the lens width in millimeters (e.g., 55). Many frames come in multiple sizes, and lenses are cut differently for each one.

The lens size (in mm) is typically printed on the inside of the temple next to the model code.

4) Watch out for frame variations

Some models have special versions (like “XL,” “S,” half-frame, or sport editions). These require different lens shapes and are not interchangeable, even if the main model name is the same.

5) Confirm compatibility

Once you know your brand, model, and size, make sure the lens shape listed matches your exact version. Compare product images to your frame, or send clear photos (front, side, and inside arm) to support if you’re unsure.

Always double-check compatibility details on the product page before ordering.

6) Quick tips

  • If the print is faded, shine a flashlight or take a close-up photo to read it.
  • Compare the exact lens outline (angles, curves) with the replacement product images.
  • For rimless, semi-rim, or wire frames, check the specific section designed for those styles.
