Normally, people get their frames from optometrists who give package discounts, that can be sizable. Are you going to blow all the savings from the frames on the lenses and cutting the lenses? It seems likely.
“Prescription lenses not included.”. Some eyeglass places will just put in lenses for you, some won’t. America’s Best will replace lenses, so if this is a good deal, then go for it.
Are you serious? Optometrists mark up frames big time. You won’t find a pair of frames for this price at any of them especially Raybans. You can have your prescription lens put into them and save probably $100 at this price.
If your Insurance company allows your eyeglass place to jack up the price because you brought your own frames then they are not acting in your interest. If your eyeglass place jacks up the price because you brought your own frames leave and find a new place.
I have 15 year old Wayfarers that I have had new lenses put into more than once, and my regular frames are almost 30 years old and have had lenses replaced many times as well. I have never been told I could not bring my own frames or that there would be a penalty if I did. My insurance allows new lenses every year and new frames and lenses every two years and I have lousy insurance. If I get lenses or lenses and frames within the frame price limit the price is the same. You need to find a new place to buy glasses.
I’m about to reveal the biggest secret about Raybans of all. If you look at prices of frames in an eyeglass place you will find out that at around $100 for a set of frames Raybans are actually the lowest priced frames out there. They actually put the Raybans in the fancy case so you will believe they are expensive and not buy them.
Here is another secret, they don’t normally put prices on the frames because you would never pick the $250 frames that are next to the $125 frames if they both had prices on them. Go to a web site like Glasses.com and shop by price, you will be shocked at the prices of frames.
No insurance works like that. The discounts for the frames are separate from the discounts for the lenses, so you can choose to just replace the lenses instead of the entire set. I’ve never been able to just swap lenses because it would leave me without glasses for a week or so, but this seems like a great idea for adding a second pair for me to have around as a different look than my current ones.
I bought a few prescription glasses from www.goggles4u.com all for under $10 each and have been very satisfied. Just the plain basic model, but they have others.
