A way to clean yellowed nose pads on old eyeglasses?
Antique Goggles

Is there a way to clead the nose pads, of two or three year old eyeglasses that have yellowed?


Jorst ... You local Wal-Mart or any decent optometry office will change these for you for about $2 or $3. If you smile and ask real nicely, if the sales assistant thinks you're really cute, you might even get them replaced for nothing. Believe me ... I sure as heck ain't cute ... never was ... but my Wal-Mart offered to change them for me for free twice. I guess I looked like a big spender, or something. Just kidding.

Can I put in new prescription lenses into my old eyeglasses frame?
Box from a past life--Abandoned Minnesota

I have a really awesome pair of cat eyeglasses, but the lenses don't match my eyes. I just basically want to use to frames, but put new prescription lenses into it. Do Lenscrafters do this, and how much would it be?


It can be done, but it is at your own risk. Because the frame is old, the company doesn't make it anymore- This just means that if the frame breaks they won't be able to get replacement parts. Fitting your new lenses into another frame would be much more difficult, so if your current frame breaks you'd likely need to buy new frames AND lenses again to replace them.

  • Buy Cheap

  • Got old eyeglasses? Make a charitable donation and get $25

    Trade in an old pair of out-of-date eyeglasses for $25 towards a new pair at Hollywood Eyes.

    It's the store's version of "Cash for Clunkers" and the campaign begins Thursday and ends Oct. 31.

    The old eyewear is donated to a local Lions Club, which recycles the used glasses for people in need in Central America.

    Hollywood Eyes is located at 2011 Harrison Street in Hollywood. For more information call 954-923-5367.

    The For Eyes chain has a similar program, according to its website. Bring in a worn prescription eyeglass pair and receive $25 off a new set of eyeglasses. The trade-ins are also donated to charity.

    This is good for a purchase of $129 or more and is not to be combined with other discounts, coupons, vision insurance plans or prior orders. The For Eyes offer expires Sept. 30.

    These are good deals. I've been growing tired of my tortoise-shell rhinestone speckled glasses (pictured on the left). They were a hefty investment and it doesn't make sense to ditch them after two years. I'm still debating.
