I have found many wire rimmed round framed specs on eBay that I really like and very cheap but they don't come with lenses, would I be able to get the lenses through a local optician or online somewhere?

somehow i don't think you can, but i don't know why i think that. You could always ask them. Do you have a strong prescription?

I know specsavers can put lenses into your own frames but it does cost a lot.

No not strong, I can pretty much manage without glasses, more for driving and watching TV.

I meant to say - but not sure about round lenses, they are vintage now but maybe you could look on vintage spectacles websites or even google vintage spectacles?

Before spending, print off a picture of the frames and take in and ask them.

When I was a kid there were two types of frames available on the NHS (the lenses were free). The wire ones were free and the plastic ones were 10/6. When, at the age of 15, I required glasses I refused to wear both. I persuaded my mother to fork out £3/12/6, telling her that if I had to wear NHS specs then people would think we were a poor family. She immediately coughed up.

You need to find an optician within the ethnic communities, as a friend of mine discovered. You say what you want and they will do it.
