Why can't you? I know opticians who will put modern lenses into antique frames, so I have to imagine they can do it for modern frames even more readily.

Oops. I just didn't know that was a possibility.
I wouldn't be surprised if their lenses were not the correct power, and if their cylindrical prescription is on the wrong axes, etc. I don't trust some random sweat shop in China doing this (don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure the operations is done in China).
Since the frame market is monopolized by some sleazy business, I wish I could just buy a decent frame from Zenni and give it to a qualified local optician who can fit a nice lens in it.
