Providence Optical downtown will cut lenses for any frames you find online, including vintage. They were able to cut lenses for a few 1980's designer frames I have and was previously unable to find an optometrist willing and able to. They later did a run of some newer models that I found online.

Yeah I’m just trying to get some frames and lenses through my insurance…my insurance doesn’t cover $600 frames and probably for the best as I’d probably break them!

Use Eye Buy Direct. You input your own vision prescription details. They’re super affordable and good quality, and often have good sales.

Thanks! I am happy with LensCrafters. I find they are much better than the other chain optical stores here, or even some local ones like Adcanced Eye Care.

Eye Buy Direct is an online wholesale distributor.

Not all frames are $600 if you search well online.
