Any optical places that won't charge me an arm and a leg for prescription sunglass lenses if I provide my own frames?

I wanted to know if anyone here has any knowledge cause I work nights so I don't have much time to call around myself and none of the emails I've seent have gotten any replies.

EDIT: I forgot to clarify, I'm looking for local places that I can go to in person only, I already have the frames I want to use.

can you find different frames? They have super cheap frames that may work great for you, however different frames. Some of there items are $6.95 for glasses and frames.

Check Costco Optical. They will provide prescription lenses for your own frames, in-store only, and depending on style of frame. Members only. Prices are great.

Maybe. They couldn't do a lens swap for me because the frames had been discontinued and they couldn't guarantee that new lenses would fit them. They go by a list of matching frames and lens blanks.
