Is it possible to use any frame to fit prescription lenses? I can't find a answer online. I found a pair of 'readers' glasses that I love, but before I buy I want to make sure that I can get my prescription lenses made to fit. I am unaware if reader’s glasses are made differently than the glasses I would purchase at eye wear shop.

Dr. Sally Aldayeh's response:

Hi Jodie,
Buying frames, there is a lot to consider, lens size and size of frame (how it fits on your head and nose bridge). Depending on your prescription, sometimes it is better to go for small lens size if your prescription is high. The best thing to do is maybe ask your optometrist if your prescription has a recommended frame size. Good luck
