I bought a pair of specs late last year. Not really happy with the design. Used to wear Oakley and after switching to another brand, I feel like I'm more suitable for Oakley specs. But as my current specs is less than a year, can I buy a pair of Oakley in optical shops, but use back my current lenses?

If your old lens shape is bigger than the new oakley lens shape, it will be easier.

Easier as in retaining the focus point and fitting nicely into the new shape.


If old lens shape smaller than new lens shape, it won't fit.

Does anyone know where i can get those hinge-less rubberised spectacle frames, kinda like those sporty frames? Went to a few shops in shopping malls and they do not seem to have them, only those fameless version which i dont really like cuz its too filmsy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If not Crizal Airwear den shld be fine.. if it's Airwear (polycarbonate material), might need longer time to get it done or some place won't even alter that material.
