Very Old Frames

[tcharp]

So, I recently took one of my old pairs of Oakleys to an optics shop that works with them, but I was told that this particular set of frames was too old to get new lenses made for them. I was further told that bifocals with lines in them were no longer available.

Can anyone verify if these two things are true?
Attached is the only data I can find printed on the frames.

Thanks in advance,

TC Harp

Oakley tens, made in 2010 according to o-review. They would be to old to get Oakley lenses but you could get aftermarket or some custom cut. As far as bi I don't think they did but rx is beyond my knowledge

Yes, so I have 3 pairs (the other 2 pairs are newer than these) that all have bifocals with lines in them. It is looking as if I am out of luck on that issue, however. I have had these very old ones to 2 different optics shops and been told the same thing, No Dice. I guess I'm just out of luck on those. It sort of breaks my heart. These are great glasses, but the prescription in those lenses is way off for my old eyes.

Thank you, sir.

Welcome.
Go to other opticians until you find one that is capable custom cutting lenses for this particular model. The first 5 o. 6 opticians told me they can’t cut progressive lenses for my O3 frame.
The last one said no problem.
Bingo

I love how a 10 year old pair is considered "very old"

Contact Fuse lenses, fuselenses.com , and talk with them. They do Rx lenses, and they offer lenses for Tens (x), and Tens 1.0's (x), you need to determine which ones you have.
They should be able to help you out. I know there are members here who have Rx lenses in their glasses from fuse.

Hope this helps, glwy search!

Weird. Most places should let you do what you need. I probably would. But you'd agree to a disclaimer regarding damage during processing. Limiting liability on the opticians part.

I'll bet that @Chris A Hardaway can fix you up!

Saw the title and was thinking they was from the 80s or something...

But yes if X-metals that are 10 years older than that can still get lens cut (even prescription), then that can too, especially from Chris.
