There are several places on line that have RX-compatible Rayban frames, here's a couple.www.go-optic.comwww.framesdirect.comThe original Wayfarer style is the RX-5121 and costs about US $90, I'm not sure about the other rayban styles. When you go to the web sites, look under designer glasses, then look for the company Rayban.

The wayfarers are around $100+ depending on your prescription. This in itself is quite a lot of money. If you don't mind, I would suggest buying something like this online. It can save you tons of money:

These ones are 'Raybans', they look virtually the same but they're not officially raybans but you can barely tell the difference. You'll notice the difference in your wallet when you save $70+ lol. Yep they are only for 30$ for prescription glasses. You should check them out.

There are many sites online, such as the framesdirect one mentioned above. Most sites require you to send your prescription from the eye doctor.

A signature style of designer eyeglasses will cost you quite a bit of money comparing with the generic ones.

In brick and mortar stores designer eyeglasses may spend you up to one thousand dollars. If you buy online, you will probably save 1/2 or 2/3(even more).

A good advice for selecting the most appropriate styles for yourself is to go to the local optical shops first to try on similar shapes and colors you like(like RayBan aviator) to wear. After having exact idea of your preferable ones, you then go to these targeted online stores. There are normally more styles displayed online that the stores to choose from.

i do not think buying a pair of frame with no lens would be less troublesome and no one would fit it for free.
