In the rare case you do have a fit problem please do the following:

Please Provide:

  • Complete model number of your sunglasses. This is usually found on the left inside arm of your sunglasses. If you have discovered you ordered the wrong lenses still contact us. We will exchange them for you.
  • Description of the problem:
    • Too Large.
    • Too Small.
    • Not the right shape.
    • Damaged during transit.
    • Wrong color and so on.

Our goal is to help customers get new lenses in their sunglasses regardless of the problem. If you've ordered the wrong lenses, or just can't get them installed we are here to help.

Customers wanting custom made lenses or having us install the lenses for you can take as little as 1.5 weeks but generally longer due to the postal time involved with getting your frames back and forth to our lab. Customers are asked that they first place a custom order with us before shipping your sunglass frames into our workshop.

We strive to turn around the jobs, once they are in our lab, in 3 - 5 business days. Complex jobs, such as rimless or clip in sunglasses, can take longer. We will normally contact you after 5 business days if the jobs require more time.

Making lenses is more complex than you imagine and the average jobs takes well over an hour to complete. Additionally, we have no control on when people decide to return their sunglasses too us. Some days we get a few pairs in, other days over 20. If you are in a hurry please contact us or write on the outside of the package URGENT and include a note as to why and when you need them and we will do what we can to accommodate your request.

The Sunglass Fix designs, shapes, packages, and ships all of its lenses from it's central lab in Australia.

We also use 100% green energy (renewable energy) to run our entire Australian lab making our lenses one of the best environmental choices available for consumers.

We do source some raw materials from overseas. For example, we source our polarization film from Japan, they have one of the best performing and natural feeling film available.

We also have contract manufactures overseas that product our lens raw materials. However, then entire lens manufacturing process is strictly controlled on all levels of the production process ensuring we only produce grade A lenses for all of our customers.

We pride ourselves in quality delivered at the most cost effective level possible.

The Sunglass Fix does not do repairs to broken frames.

For Australian customers we suggest that you check out Frame Care Australia, they do great work with plastic and metal welding, and can fix almost any broken glasses.

Customers from the United States have several options for glasses repairs, we suggest World Optics
