can i get prescription lenses inserted into a cheap pair of glasses bought online?
December 25th, 2009 | by admin |if i buy a pair of cheap glasses (i like the geeky glasses) on ebay could an optician change the lenses? – i need prescription lenses for reading, watching tv, computer, etc. any help?? thanks!!
It really depends upon your prescription. Some lenses cannot be fit into certain frames due to the thickness of them. Also, you need to consider the fact that the lenses will have to be professionally cut down to fit your chosen frames. In all honesty, it would probably work out cheaper to buy a pair, lenses and all through your optician.

It can be cheaper to buy complete pairs on the internet .OK if you have a low prescription, but higher prescriptions need accurate centring.
You can get two complete pairs of designer specs with anti reflection coating from Asda, for £90 , no extra cost for thinner lenses if you have a high prescription.

It’s possible, but your optician would have to examine the frame.
Not all frames are ophthalmic quality.
