• i have a pair of specs which i have now replaced. although a bit rough they are still fine, and I wondered if I could have these turned into sunglasses cheaply? I have also wanted to see what they might look like as sunglasses by coloring the lens in with felt pen but this hasn't worked!

  • Depends on the original lens specification, if they have an anti-reflection coating you'd need new lenses, if not most non-anti-reflection lenses are tintable. I used to do it for free for a mate as it costs nothing if you've got access to a tint bath. Otherwise you're looking at £60 upwards on the high Street for new lenses. Bit like, 'Can I fit these forks to my bike?' Many variables. Easier with pics, but really need to answer in person.
