Lensabl solves a different problem from the rest of this list: your frame is fine, but your prescription changed. You order online, send in your frame and Lensabl says it comes back with new lenses in about 10 days, with lens replacement starting at $97 and anti-reflective coating included free. Shipping is fast and free. That price makes most sense for frames that would cost a lot to replace, such as designer, Costa or Oakley frames, or smart glasses like Ray-Ban Meta, which Lensabl also sells. Expired prescription? Lensabl offers an online renewal that takes about 5 minutes, with a prescription from a board-certified doctor within 24 hours. It also sells contact lenses and frames. The main drawbacks are practical: you need a spare pair while your frame is in the mail, $97 is more than a full budget pair at Zenni or Payne, and customer care runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm MST.
