Online Lens Replacement Services

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Boomerang Lenses Offers a Seamless Way to Update Old Glasses

— May 6, 2020 — Business
Changing glasses frames is a simple style upgrade but it's not always necessary and Boomerang Lenses is a new brand from 1-800 Contacts that was created to acknowledge this. The online lens replacement service was developed to "bring old glasses back to life with brand new lenses" and make it easier than ever for people to do so without having to visit an eye doctor or an optical shop.

At a time when it's difficult for people to visit shops and care providers, Boomerang Lenses offers an appealing way for those with glasses to affordably replace their lenses without needing to leave home. At the same time, the new brand offers a sustainable solution to the fact that millions of frames are thrown away annually.
