It has to be a place I can walk into so they can get the prescription off my current lenses (long story, but I cant get a written prescription). I dont care
what the glasses look like.
Where can I get the cheapest glasses ever

Ummm no matter where you go, if you are wanting new lenses as well you are going to need a current/valid prescription. I don't know a single place that
will use the prescription from your old lenses.

How mad? I'd call them up and ask for one to be written or printed say and I'd like to pick it up the next day.

Even Walmart is over $100. My glasses were around $130 and the lenses were only like $40.

They could probably fax it to whatever glasses place you end up going to.
Do you have an Eyeglass World? I remember my mom going there for cheap glasses. |

You won't find lenses and frames for under $100, anywhere. And I've never heard of giving anyone glasses without a prescription.

Faxing is possible but are you looking for just frames or lenses? It will be hard to find a place that will do one without the other. walmart hass frames for
30 bucks, maybe even 20 bucks but then you prob will need to pay for lenses which shouldn't be much if it is poly and not a high perscription.

Oh ya to get the 30 buck frames at wal mart you have to ask they do not have them out on display.

I worked at a lenscrafters before and they would no way in hell make glasses without a written Rx. I still work for an eye doctor and no place around here will
make glasses without one.

One of my cousins got cheap frames from Claires and had a place put in perscription lenses.
