I sat on my glasses.  They broke at the bridge for the nose.  Can I still use the lenses in a different frame?

I used to manage an optical shop so I can tell you from experiance.  If you are able to get the exact same type of frame than you can put the old lenses in them.  If you cannot find the same frame than it will not work.  If the frame is too big for the lens than it will fall out.  If the frame is too small than it will put presure on the lens and warp it not only causing damage to your eyesight, but also possibly break the lens (not a good idea that close to the eye.  Another thought to try to save money...If it broke at the weld on a metal frame try to take them to a jeweler and ask them to reweld them.  This option should only cost you $10 - $15!\nHope this helped.

yup you can definitely worsen your sight if your wearing incorrectly prescribed glasses. Your glasses are probably too strong for your eyes so wearing them puts a strain on your eyes. They are trying to focus with the lens but the glasses aren't your correct vision. If you keep wearing them, your eyes will get used to doing that and will ultimately get worse.

I wear glasses and also contacts.......sounds like you got a pretty good deal.  Glasses are so expensive!!!

I love my Arnettes. The set was ~$150 with 3 lens sets (dark, gradiant and amber...all polarized). Plastic frame that has survived a few drops down mountainsides, tumbles off my bike as well as getting under my car seats.\n\nOnly downside is the case it came with is pretty crappy so I ended up putting out cash for a hard case.

why didn't you simply tell them you could not see and I am sure they would have encouraged to return at a later time to pick out frames. Next time ask them if you can pick out the frames first. Most doctors are accomodating if you speak up

Those should be fairly thick- unless there is some kind of special thin lense-my old glasses were a -6.00 and plastic-and fairly thick= D

There's no reason why your nearsightedness should interfere in your weight training, unless your lifting weights with your eyeballs. Just make sure if you wear glasses that they're secured by an elastic or headband so they won't slide off your nose if you get all sweaty.

It's perfectly fine to do that (as long as the contacts don't have any power and your glasses are up-to-date).  Just be sure that you're taking proper care of the contacts (cleaning them correctly, not overwearing them, etc).

Absolutely. It may not be the most comfortable (stand off distance between the diopter piece and your glasses) and there may be a slight reflection in your glasses; but, it's not out of the question. The newer AN/PVS-7 NVGs have an adjustable diopter lens that allows you to use the NVGs without corrective lens'. \n\nIf you had to wear corrective lens' I would recommend using glasses in the field/combat when you have to utilize your NVGs. Just remove your glasses and flip down the NVGs. Since they're already set to correct your vision, just flip them back up and put on your glasses when you're done.\n\nContact lens would be the most comfortable; however, the down side of contact lens' is the maintenance and up-keep in the field/combat.

Technically, yes.  The trouble is that you have to adapt a lot more to hard contacts.  If you take a break from them, you will have to re-adapt (meaning that they'll be uncomfortable).

focus on a triangular frame- these frame are the strongest. also try googling for the manufacture of bridges and find out why certain bridges are built.

Call the eye doctor who prescribed them and tell him you're having problems. He might want to see you with the lenses on.  Then he can give you a new prescription for a different brand if that's what you need.\nI don't get my contacts from Walmart so I don't know that part, sorry.

you will be able to do most of it yourself. but you need specialist tools to remove the cups out of the frame and off the fork crown, and then put them on the other frame.

It would depend on how much the sun really bothers your eyes, and I guess does it matter to you how you look.  You can always buy the clips that go on your prescription glasses, which would be way cheaper.

Did you buy glasses? It sounds about like the price and description of two lenses. If your didn't buy glasses, you'd better ask them, maybe they made a mistake.

i play with my glasses....the best way i have found to do it is to wear a under armour skull cap over my ears and then my helmet slides on and does not push them down...i have worn glasses under my helmet for 6 years now....only came off once...

Try ebay, I just found a pair on there, though I think they may be too big. Your best bet may be an antique store or a regular eye place like lenscrafters or something - that way you can try them on and be sure they fit.
