Where can I send my eye glasses frames, and have RX lenses made and installed?

Asked by UScitizen (4306points) August 21st, 2010

I have found it to be much cheaper to purchase eye glasses on line. However, I have only found services that will sell frames and lenses. Does anyone know of a service that will accept my frames, and manufacture lenses to my RX?

I have had lenses replaced in glasses that I’ve had, and I have taken frames into an optical store that sold the same line and had them make the lenses. I would not want to risk buying lenses online because of the fitting. If eyeglasses are not correct, you can get horrible headaches.

What @BarnacleBill said – your glasses need to be fitted with your eyes’ focus points to have a good prescription result. Take it from someone who had it done wrong one time! :)
