I always have them filled by Alyn Scura Eyewear in California. They do mail-order and they are very inexpensive. I think that my last pair of lenses (high index, with anti-glare coating) run about $100 per pair. They'll need a copy of your current prescription. I just usually go to one of the cheap mall chains for my prescription and then email it to Allyn Scura. All they do is vintage so they can be trusted with your precious and lovely frames.Gabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274399710388948522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754453339933224482.post-43862002987025986672010-05-27T14:31:57.138-05:002010-05-27T14:31:57.138-05:00Thanks ladies!

Still in the plastic! I took them to my optometrist and he put the prescription lenses in for $80. He was able to tell me before hand if the frames could take it, so yours should be able to as well. I love them and get a ton of complements on them. I think I am wearing them in one of my pics on my blog.

I have had no troubles at all! I take the to the "Opt Shop" and they turn them around in 2 days... I never had to sign anything and I usually get them back even sparklier as they clean them too and BONUS they actually turn out to be cheaper then my first pair of glasses (Oliver Peoples) so it is more then worth it :) The cheaper they turn out to be the more pairs you can have...Miss Kitty Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053244940575568542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754453339933224482.post-52865169055965598462010-05-26T16:42:19.160-05:002010-05-26T16:42:19.160-05:00So does Bibbys Rocket! http://www.etsy.com/shop/B...So does Bibbys Rocket! http://www.etsy.com/shop/BibbysRocket?section_id=6491600<br /><br />I've had 50/50. I've had a place do it for me no problems at all but I've also been told "no" by a few places because they were afraid of ruining the frames.art deco damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918869259278566485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754453339933224482.post-21858637064350056632010-05-26T16:32:32.642-05:002010-05-26T16:32:32.642-05:00I've done this with 3 pairs and have been happ...I've done this with 3 pairs and have been happy every time, I have had to sign a thing saying I don't hold the optician responsible if they break in the process but they never have. Don't know about in the u.s but in the uk "dead men's spex" will sell you the glasses and put your perscription. Good luck.Little Miss Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253873851565035122noreply@blogger.com
