Came here to ask if anyone knew of a place I can send frames and my prescription and get them glazed but @DisappointingBob your post there makes it seem like this might not be the best way to go.
I want some Tom Fords but they are a bit spenny. I can find them online for a variety of prices but invariably, the places that can do them with prescription lenses are considerably more expensive that the sunglass places that sell them without a prescription lens option.
They are available as optical frames and sunnies btw and can defo be glazed.
I have found them in one local brick and mortar optician so far so I could get them done in person but that's another rung or two up the price ladder.
Could pop into my usual local optician and see if they'd be up for glazing them if I buy them elsewhere as I don't think they'll stock them. I did that years ago when I wanted some prescription Oakleys. Online price for the frames plus paying a premium for glazing would probably still be cheaper than the one place I've found that had them and could glaze them.
