I have a question about glasses?

Question

can you buy frames of glasses and then take them into your eye care center and can they get the prescription glass to put inside of it? i don't like my glasses anymore,but i just got them and i want a new pair.

Answer 1

It is a little unclear, do you want to re-use the lenses from your existing pair of glasses re-cut them, and put them into another set of frames?

It is sometimes possible to do this but not always. The new frames need to be smaller (or the same shape) as the old ones. Also, they need to keep the centers of the 2 lenses lined up with the spacing of your eyes, which is a further complication in the process. So, sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't.

If you are just interested in bringing a set of frames you got from some other place and want them to put lenses in them that should be no problem.

Answer 2

My youngest daughter used to wear glasses.  I tried to do that before.  I think it's difficult for them to change out the lenses.  Usually they want you to buy a whole new pair of glasses.  One problem with taking out the lenses of your old glasses and putting it in your new glasses is that the shape of your new glasses may be different than the shape of your new glasses.  You just need to ask them and see if they will do it.

Answer 3

yes.  we do it all the time.
