Replacement sunglass lenses · Glare-cutting
Polarized Solids.
A polarizing filter cuts the glare that bounces off water, wet roads, snow and glass, so colours look richer and your eyes work less. One even colour, edge to edge.
Polarized lenses can make some phone, dashboard and cockpit screens look dark or patchy at certain angles. If you rely on screens like these, ask us first.
How it works
New lenses, your favourite frame.
Choose your colour
Pick a colour above. Each price is for a complete pair — two new lenses, cut to your frame.
Send us your frame
Mail your sunglasses with your order number to That Glasses Guy, PMB-118, 2700 Broad St Ste 136, Chattanooga, TN 37408 — or bring them to an appointment.
Cut and fitted by hand
We trace your frame, cut and edge your new lenses to it, and fit them so they sit just as they should.
Returned to you
We keep almost every colour in stock, so your lenses are usually cut, fitted and on their way back within a few days of your frame arriving.
Polarized · $125 per pair
Every colour here can also be made in your prescription, or used as the starting point for something of your own: a one-of-a-kind tint (1–2 weeks), a custom mirror (3–4 weeks), a diamond-cut edge or an engraving. Custom work starts at $100.
Order replacement prescription lenses and tell us the colour, or email info@thatglassesguy.shop and we’ll design it with you.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us. We understand trendsetters and fashion forward styles are not something the everyday eye will find pleasing, and we're not going to talk you out of that gorgeous vintage cat eye shape in blazing pink colors, or whatever your heart desires, as long as it really is a good look for you in color tones and style choice! Frames built for the world of high fashion are some of our favorites, and personally our staff rocks some of the wildest things out there! Whether you like the basics, or something as wild as a rimless with dragon shaped lenses, we're not judging!
