You’re off on another whirlwind adventure as the summer breeze blows wild and reckless. You’re out having a great time, but then something awful happens. You drop your shades, and the sidewalk obliterates one of the lenses. Awesome. What are you going to do now? Can you replace sunglass lenses? Is that even possible to do?

Of course you can! Not only is it possible to do it, but replacing sunglass lenses is easy! Here’s how you can do it in a matter of minutes.

Get a Pair of Replacement Lenses.

First things first, you have to get a pair of replacement lenses. The good news is that this allows you the opportunity to actually upgrade your shades, because instead of getting those regular old sunglass replacement lenses, you can get some awesome polarized replacement lenses that’ll keep sun glare from straining your eyes.

Soak Them in Warm Water.

Yes, you read that right. The next thing you have to do when replacing sunglass lenses is to soak them in some warm water for about a minute. This heads up the plastic or the metal, which expands it and makes it more malleable. Now that your shades are easier to work with, gently twist the other lens out of the frame.

Finally, Actually Replacing Sunglass Lenses.

Now you’re finally ready to start replacing sunglass lenses properly. If your shades have cooled down, then warm them back up. It’s easier to put the new lenses in while the plastic or metal is still malleable. When replacing sunglass lenses, it’s easier to start from the bottom. Put the bottom of the replacement lenses in and then gently work the rest in. Once you’ve got them all in, press down on the center to make sure that they won’t fall out, and there you are!

See, isn’t replacing sunglass lenses easy? Even if you don’t need to, you should definitely consider replacing sunglass lenses either as an upgrade or just to make sure that they’re still giving you the same level of ocular protection as when you first bought them!
