Vision Eyeglass Frames

I got my first pair(s) of glasses today and I chose frames that do not cover my entire field of vision. That is below my eyes to the sides and under etc.. is exposed, as I was told is normal and you will learn to not notice it. It is a much smaller field of vision than I am use to and am wondering if the dual focuses will damage my eyesight or focus over time? Should you choose the biggest lens possible for ideal vision health?

no , they don't deteriorate , but the larger they are the larger your clear field , if you felt tired by yours change them .

www.justeyewear.com - Just like dresses and shoes, eyeglass frames also have a size. This video will show you how to figure it out.

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.

I need a new pair of sunglasses but can't find something I like. If I buy a pair of vintage eyeglass frames, is it possible for an eye doctor/Pearle Vision (or whatever) cut out custom sunglass lenses to fit? I don't need prescription lenses or anything.

If so, about how much would that cost?

As long as the frame is in good condition and as long as the frame is made for optical lenses then many places should do it. I would stay away from any old plastic vintage frames because they tend to deteriorate. Putting new lenses in them could damage the frames. As long as the optical has the appropriate equipment (most opticals have edging machines that trace the lens shape before it cuts them) then there should be no problems. The price will depend on what type of lenses you are getting . Whether they are prescription or Plano (non prescription) and if they are either tinted or polarized will make a difference in the price! You should expect to pay at least $60+ for new lenses! I would call around to see which opticals will do this for you!
Good luck!

I have very picky taste in eyewear. I am looking for thick bold frames with squared lenses. I am looking for clear acrylic . I want BIG lenses. I an sick of these tiny lenses that take up such a small portion of my vision.
I'm not looking for sunglasses,

You might like these Calvin Klein ones - they have the larger lenses instead of the smaller rectangular lenses that are quite common. It's a clear grey acetate frame - https://www.coastalcontacts.com/glasses/frames/calvin-klein-845-grey/prod25098.html

I just bought a second pair of glasses, same perscription, but the frame itself is more curved than my first pair. The first pair was kind of straight across frames, very little curving, but in this new pair the lenses curves upward a tiny bit more. I think it has to do with fitting inside the frame. Does this affect vision or are the lenses made the same no matter the shape of the frame?

In some sunglass frames that wrap around the face more, the lenses have to be made steeper. Both front and back surfaces are ground steeper so the prescription is still the same. This is a change that some people can notice while it does not bother others at all.
