New Eyeglass Frames

I bought my old frames at Walmart Vision Center. Would they be able to put my old lenses into my new frames? Do they do that? Or will I have to buy new lenses?

Sometimes they can re-cut your old lenses and make them fit a new frame, but depending on the size/shape of the frames and other factors, it may or may not be possible. Unless your old lenses were really expensive, it might not even save you that much money. To find out for sure, take the new frames and your old lenses to a optical place and they can tell you if it is possible and approximately how much it costs.

www.framesdirect.com - FramesDirect.com CEO and founder Dr. Dhavid Cooper givess a brief explanation of how to determine your eyeglasses frame size.

I bought some new frames from a website and would like to fill in with prescription lenses from my local eye center. How much will they charge for the lenses if I have already have a prescription filed with them?

I have no idea the total price but I guess since you have already prescription filed on your eyeglasses, you take big charge on it. Watch this video you really enjoy it.

I've just been shopping for them, and there are a lot of nice and unusual ones out these days. Why did you choose the ones you got, and were there others you liked, but passed up - why?

I got Transitions, the ones that turn dark in the sun. My frames are nice, with no line at the bottom. Here's a pic of me to make the explanation a bit easier. :D

i just bought new frames but they have "demo" lenses in them. i will need to have prescription lenses put it in. how much will it cost roughly? I dont have any extreme eye problems, just nearsighted.

It depends on your prescription, age, and what you want to add on to the lenses (like scratch coating, anti-reflective coating, transitions, tint, etc.).

If your prescription is low, I recommend getting standard plastic lens CR-39 (the cheapest lenses).

If your prescription is high ( > - 3.00/- 4.00), I recommend getting polycarbonate (2nd most expensive lens) or hi-index lenses (most expensive lenses because the lenses are thinner).

If your 18 years or younger, you are required to get at least polycarbonate lenses or better. You can't get standard plastic lens.

The prices will increase if you want the ADD-ons that are mentioned above.

Prices vary depending on where you go. Without vision insurance, it's quite expensive at private offices. I recommend that you go to commercial settings like Lenscrafters, Site for Sore Eyes, Costco, Walmart, JcPenney's, Sears, etc.

I need new lenses, but can't afford new frames now and love my current pair. Do the eyeglass places let you hold onto the frames, or do they have some creative way of scamming you into an expensive new pair of frames?

you can keep the frames and just get new lenses, however some places will only replace lenses in frames that *they* originally sold you....i'd go back to the same place you got them, or shop around - don't let anyone scam ya!
