  • The order type cannot be changed when remaking an order. For example, a lens only order cannot be remade as a complete eyeglass order. (You would need to return the entire lens only order and start a new complete eyeglass order.)
  • The insurance used on the original order must be applied to the remake order. You can only apply secondary insurance to a remake if the original order used secondary insurance. VSP coordination of benefits also only occurs if it was present on the original order.
  • Remake orders are not automatically sent to VSP labs. You must call the lab to notify them of the remake.
