plastic lenses? they can be reground to fit a frame with smaller lenses. I
don't think you are going to find the detailed specifications to get the
contours correct to have existing lenses fit correctly in another frame
without a lot of hand checking. Might check the thrift stores nearby as the
stores local to me have a tray on the checkout counter that have a lot of
eyeglasses. Pat - who also bought a pair of the cheapie (under $30 US)
zenni optical single prescription glasses and have been satisfied with them.

>>Eye Size: 50mm
