Default will an optician or eyeglass shop put lenses into quality frames you bring with you?

OK- i'm unemployed, nearly broke and need glasses! i have a pair of glasses here a friend gave me (he had surgery and can see fine now), but i definitely can't afford to spend more than $110 total on an eye exam and glasses. i know about those $39 glasses web sites, but i don't have a credit card and can't get one (i don't want one, dammit). i'm literally down to my last $200 for the month and the rest will go for food and some small gifts for family)- so what the heck are my options?we'll work on the teeth issue once i can see again, by the way...

I know that Wal-Mart may sound like a stupid place to go, but I know their optical department is actualy cheep, and they do a great job. And yes, they can put a new perscription into frames that you already have, as long as the screws are not stripped, and they withstand them putting in the new lenses.

it depends on the optician. a high scale place with expensive frames may ask you to leave (i'm sorry, but that's how they are). another lower scale place would probably do it for you for a few bucks, maybe 10 or 15. i've bought complete sets of eyewear for $150, that's the frames lenses and fiting. i would think that any optometrist could do the fitting for less than $25
