Can I get the glasses at Claire's prescribed?!


Question: Can I get the glasses at Claire's prescribed?
Ok so my friend told me that I go to Claire's and buy one of the glasses and get them prescribed, is this true? If so where can I get them prescribed, and how much would it be?

Answers:

If you are talking about buying the fake glasses and having your prescription lenses put into them, I'm thinking this might not be a good idea. Those frames are probably intended as a cheap fashon accessory and might not last very long in daily use. Also the frames might not even have the proper groove around the inside of the lens openings to accept real prescription lenses. If they are cheap, I suppose you could get them and take them to a eyeglasses shop and see if they can do it, but don't be surprised if they say they can't be used.

You might try looking on some of the on-line eyeglasses sites and see if there are some similar style frames available. You could either have the on-line place make the complete glasses for you or just buy the empty frames and have a local optical shop fit the lenses. This site has tons of nice designer frames (but cost more) www.go-optic.com; this site has quite inexpensive frames/glasses but they are not designer ones (look just the same, but no name or initials on them, if that part is important to you): www.zennioptical.com, there are many other sites though.



Absolutely. Check out prescription lens prices at www.replacementlensexpress.com.

They have a very extensive selection of lenses, which start at $25. You send in your frame and they just fill the Rx for you. I find that if you go for the cheapo sites like zenni or elsewhere where they only cost $8 or so, then you really get a cheap product and the customer service sucks.
