I was told there would be a non refundable charge normally around 20 for fitting ito old frames and if the frames broke while they were doing it the older they are the more likely they are to break they couldn t be held liable and i d not only have to purchase new frames but also another set of lenses to fit the new frames on top of having paid the charge for them to try doing it eek.

If the frame is not in good enough condition or is to cheaply made they may refuse to use them because it will be impossible to do a good quality job with them.
If the old frames are discontinued the patient needs to realize that if they break their new lenses may not fit available frames.
