Wal Mart will make Rx lens for frames not purchased from Wal Mart. And the prices are good.

Yes, I have a pair with prescription lenses. I don't know the particular style number (but could probably find it if needed), but I had them done when I was fitted for my regular glasses.

It depends on the specific frame and your specific prescription. The lab person will usually have to inspect it to determine whether you can have prescription lenses put in. This is because some lenses are too curved (wraparound) for the correct prescription lens to be mounted.

Thanks for the replies. one of the Persols I'm looking at is an aviator style, the other is pretty standard rectangular shape.
