I'm happy to discuss anything eyewear related in the thread. I work in the industry. Some production related things I wouldn't be able to state openly, but for people that are seriously interested in that info and are wanting to produce eyewear I will discuss that through pm :)-v_o_t

Has anyone else on here ordered a pair of Rigards and then had them custom fit with prescription lenses? I'd like to get a pair and make them my day-to-day so would put in a prescription. As far as I know, there's no way to do this all-in-one, so figure I should buy the glasses and then take them somewhere here in NYC for the lenses etc. Is this possible?
I know, it's naive, but usually I get my lenses and frames at the same place, so just trying to figure out if this is even possible with a pair of Rigards frames.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, any reputable optician will replace the lenses for you. That's what the guys at Rigards told us when we were setting up their brand on Other Fashion.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

The only one that will he difficult is the RG0001 with the points going into the lenses. It takes a special lab to process lenses for those. Don't just go to any optical shop. Definitely don't take it to a LensCrafters. In NYC I would recommend taking them to Morganthal Frederics on Madison. They do horn frames and their labs are highly capable. Not every lab can do horn, and most opticians policies for outside frames is "at your own risk"-v_o_t
