Can I take a regular, inexpensive, no name brand pair of sunglasses and turn them into prescription sunglasses?
Answer:
Not all frames are glazable (can have the lenses replaced) and then not all frames that can be glazed are suitable for all prescriptions.
You will need to take the frame you like to your optician and ask them. They'll know if your prescription will fit into the frame.
Answer:
Yes, most likely you can. It depends on the frames and how they're made (i.e. some sunglasses have small wire at the bottom of the lens, which may be hard to fit). Most optometrists would be willing to help you. They want your business. For example, I called my eye doctor because I found a pair of frames in Chicago I wanted. I bought the frames, and my physician stated he'd do my lens prescription and insert them in the frames I purchased. Call around.
Answer:
Thats a huge fat…No. I've been wearing glasses since kindergarten and can definately state there is no way to do that. Unless you wanna get the clip on films for your regular glasses.
Usually though, you can watch for the 99 dollar sales and pick up a pair fairly cheap.
Answer:
Sometimes you can provide your own frames. You would have to bring them with you to the Doc's office.
