Figured i would add this as it might apply to some redditors.
Can you bring your own frames to walmart.

Select your frame according to the shape that suits your face skin tone or eye color.
Thats when i had walmart do my new glasses.
You could ask to see if your walmart is different.
Walmart vision center will fill any frames you bring in for 10 plus the cost of the prescription.
All you have to pay for is the cost of the frames themselves.
I asked my local walmart to put lenses in my zenni frames but they said they dont do that anymore for liability reasons.
However to put new lenses into your existing frames there is a fee that varies by store but is usually around 10 in addition to the purchase price of the lenses themselves.
Given that the average cost of prescription eyeglasses in 2014 was 274 20 according to the vision council shoppers can save big at walmart.
If you happen to be under 18 the same is true for polycarbonate lenses.
Costco charges an extra 15 20 i think for bringing your own frames.
If you choose smaller frames the walmart vision center will cut your old lenses to fit.
You can get your old lenses reframed at walmart even if you didn t originally buy them at walmart.
Walmart s lenses are 29 for a set of plastic lenses plus 9 to trace the frame if it is not from walmart.
That s right no waiting in line at an office no pressure to purchase a new frame no hassle.
What customers notice is.
As long as the frame is in good condition then yes today most frames aren t manufactured the way they were in past so many don t hold up for long part of this is because frame companies want to sell you more frames.
During a fishing trip i went overboard and lost my rod reel and glasses.
Best bet is to stop in walmart and show the optician the frame you want to use they can give a definite answer.
There is no additional charge for fitting old lenses into new frames.
Choose from established brands with your full prescription or just for reading.
A good strategy is to buy the frames online and the lenses in a discount store.
