Frames

CyberDave

Maybe this is a silly question, but here goes. I am looking to buy some new frames, but I'm not willing to spend a fortune on frames. I have been looking on eBay and seen some that I like. Thing is, it's mostly sunglasses frames I like.

My question is, would there be any problem adding perscription lenses to frames like these?:

Would love these babies, but they are far to expensive. Has anybody seen anything like them?

ye they both could be used for prescription lenses.
if your prescription is over -3 yad prob have to get the police ones thinned as theres no frame at the edges and yas have edge thickness.

2nd ones I think would be terrible as normal glasses. could be done but they really are a real sunglass frame

I think the first frame looks more like a sunglasses frame than the first. I really like the second frame. The second one is developed by a company in the States http://www.gunnar.com for computer users. The lenses are tinted to combat the screen and I think they magnify it slightly as well. No retailers in Ireland though is the only problem.

Not sure about second frame as the link wouldnt open for me. In relation to the first frame- it is quite large but your personal choice, its a "nylon supra" frame which means the lenses arent held in place by screws but by what looks like fishing gut which sits into a groove. As it is a plastic frame there may also be a special piece inserted into the plastic (hard to see in pic), because of this you may be charged a little bit more for supra glazing and make sure you bring to a good lab as it may get damaged if trainee techs get their hands on it
