Prescription lenses for Ray Bans ?

OU812

Anyone know if it's possible to get prescription lenses for RayBans ? I have my prescription here. One of my eyes has deteriorated unfortunately, which means I have to wear glasses more often.

I have a pair or Predator IIs from RB which are my all time favourite sunglasses & I'd love to have them in prescription version.

Also, where's the best place to order ordinary glasses?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is.

I had lovely pair of prescription RayBans a few years back. I got them through Vision Express, although I would imagine most opticians would do it too. One thing I do remember is that the lense has to be fairly flat, meaning you can't have a curved lens in your glasses as that would negate the prescription in the lens I guess. But most RayBans are fairly flat in style, so I would guess you will have no problem.

Same as above, I had a pair of Ray Bans before I got my eyes lasered.

Again, they had to be fairly flat ones, which ruled out a lot of styles at the time. Any decent optician will tell you straight off if your beloved ones are suitable.

I got mine from McNally opticians on Stephen's Green.

Thanks folks.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to get them so. Mine are very curved.

Darn it.

What better reason to go out and treat yourself to a kickarse new pair then

Or get lasered like myself. Then you can wear your beloved pair.

These are the only glasses that have EVER suited me. I love them with a passion & would replace them tomorrow with the same type if ever I lost them.

Not sure about layering, can't even face contacts & the ickiness that brings with it... Couldn't imaging being lasered

I thought that myself dude. Took me years to even consider contacts. Then I just bit the bullet and went for a trial one day. Piece of cake, wore them for three years. Was dead set against laser as well. Then I spoke to plenty of people that had it done, ended up getting sick of contacts and glasses and went for the consult one day. Had it done a couple of months later. Better then 20/20 in both eyes now. Easily the best money I ever spent. If someone gave me the choice of going to get my eyes lasered again or go to get a filling at the dentist - I would get my eyes done again. It is literally that little to worry about.

I'll echo the above - have two siblings who wore contacts for ever and ever - I always thought "euwwww, I couldn't poke things in my eyes, euwwwww"!

Then I took up sailing, and sailing and glasses do not mix - at all.

So I decided I could, after all, contemplate sticking things in my eyes, if it got rid of the glasses. Took myself off to an optician, who told me in ten seconds flat that my sight was not correctable with lenses (astigmatism - might be correctable now, but wasn't then). So it was glasses or laser.

So I did the laser, and like the poster above, best thing I ever did - I only regret that I didn't do it years beforehand. I know loads of people - into double figures by this stage - who've had it done, and only one person had "dry eyes" for about a year, and that wore off eventually. Other than that it was 100% success for all.

You should investigate it at least - see if you're suitable, what it might do for you - and at least give yourself the option.

I got mine done about 10 years ago, and I can feel my sight slipping slightly now - don't know if that's the long-sightedness of age creeping in (which was always going to happen), or if I can get the lasering "topped up". I can tell you that if I can, I will!
