Using Sunglass frames instead of eyewear frames from the eye doctor?
Posted on December 13th, 2011 by admin
Today I was watching my YouTube subscriptions, and one of my fave YouTubers, AfricanExport, did a video on using sunglass frames to fill her prescription lenses instead of buying typical eyewear frames.I thought it was a really cool idea. Has anyone did this before? I’m 19, I need some new glasses, and saving money is really important right now.
Yes it can be done.. BUT!! Not always depending on the curve of the frame, your prescription and size of the frame.. And it will indeed cost you more to buy a nice frame outsidethen come to an optical store to put the lenses in for you.. Make sure if u havent purchased the frames yet take a rough picture and take it to the optician you will have your lenses put in so they can asses whether or not it will work also tell them how big it will be roughly this will give them an idea if their lab will take the job and will save you money if they wont accept your jon

Not all sunglass frames are capable of supporting a perscription lens. It depends on your perscription, the type of lens you buy and the sunglass frames. Before you spend money here get more details the frames, take them to your optiicans and ask.
