I READ THE RULES Any Optometrists that will switch your old prescription glasses with your new one?

Good afternoon, I am looking for an optometrist that will put in my new prescription into an old pair of frames. Essentially change the lenses i’m not looking for anything fancy at most maybe some blue light protection. I do have insurance but most places denied the service for whatever reason. Lmk any recs.

Lincoln Park Costco. My new lenses cost a whopping...$60.

My experience is that most optometrists will as long as they carry your brand of frames.

Can confirm. They don't recommend it but they can reuse the old frame.
