Vintage Style Eyeglass Frames

I have been searching for a pair of vintage cats eye style eyeglasses from the 50's and I have only really been able to find actual pairs from that era. I am wondering if it's possible to put new lenses in the frames or if anyone knows where I can buy a pair new in my own prescription. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There are plenty sold at places like etsy

Now be forewarned, most places WILL NOT do certain types of frames because of the new way they make lenses.
A friend of mine pops out the lenses from her old ray bans sunglasses and had new prescription lenses put in at costco.

I'm looking for a pair of rimless eyeglasses which have a clear bridge and arms. So far the most transparent frames I've found are thin titanium. The whole idea is that when I have them on they will be practically invisible.
Also, I may consider the vintage style which has no arms and a spring bridge. Does anyone know where I could find JUST the spring bridges to purchase?
If not, does anyone know where I could have them custom made? I found a website that charges $600 for custom frames, but I feel they should be less expensive.

One of my coworkers had a pair of glasses made by Silhouette. They are rimless and had clear plastic arms and bridge. This is a link to their website. Unfortunately my computer won't let me copy info from the actual website. Sorry. I have a pair with thin purple arms and bridge and they're much less noticeable than my old glasses b/c they're rimless. Mine were about $300. I don't know about vintage frames.
