  • I was just about to ask the same question :) I have vintage frames if anyone could advise on those, Boots tell me frames need to be less than 2 years old and I am also looking to put plain sunglass lenses in vintage frames, apologies to the OP for not offering advice and thanks for posting :)

    NO worries same topic so may as well jump on board, for your info the huigh street outlet i tried (not boots) told me age didn't matter so long as frames were in good condition, so i suspect it's just boots trying to get more money out of you.

  • Try Iris Optical - no connection, other than being a happy customer. (Very happy customer with a weird prescription - new specs from them cost me about £200 less than I've paid anywhere else in the last decade). They're online.

    I used ciliary blue. They were brilliant.
