    Default Optical Store that will install lenses into my frames

    Hi Guys,

    I recently bought a pair of frames online and am looking for a place locally that will install the lenses. Does anyone have any recommendations? I took it to Costco initially but the lady there was pretty uncertain of the service so I decided against it.

    Thanks for any help!

    I'd ask someone else then. I've bought frames online before and Costco made lenses to fit them for me.

    That's a pretty standard service. Any place that does prescription glasses will do it.

    From what I've seen, Costco generally has the best price.

    I got a pair of Ray-Ban off ebay as the store had stopped stocking them and Lenscrafters fitted them in an hour. But costco will be cheaper is they do it.

    Costco does install lenses with frames from elsewhere. I did it recently.

    Though they do charge $18 for that. But worth it considering you can get high index lenses for really good price through them.

    I've used Costco and Hakim Optical for lense replacements for frames i brought in. no issues with either place. I think Hakim was cheaper at the time but they had a sale on lenses.

    I used fyi doctors to fit rayban frames with lenses. I got the frames from my son and he got them somewhere else.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.

    I can do it at either of my stores - Saddletowne Optometry or Bridgeland Crossings Optometry with a valid Rx. No extra fees. Can direct bill if you have insurance too.
