Vintage safety glasses & goggles collection

So why all the goggles and safety glasses?? I live in New York City as an artist and performer/improvising musician, and there came a point about a year ago where I felt this need to transcend a certain visual perception thing I saw happening — the way people are on the street, in the subway, all the ads everywhere, people constantly looking around at others insecurely, attention disorders yanked this way and that — and after having lived here for 15 years this curiosity and meditation began to take hold. . . I had been seeing some paintings by Giorgio de Chirico and pictures of Japanese Zen priests (Komuso) playing shakuhachi, and had been listening to David Tudor’s electronic masterpiece, “Rainforest,” and so for kicks I just started painting over the lenses of cheap plastic safety glasses with various colors in acrylic paint to see how it would feel. . . When I’d come home from work in the afternoon and start practicing the trombone, I’d take a puff of herb, put a pair of these on and let play some old LPs of nature sounds and just go into this incredibly open place. . . Look, I’m deeply affected by the place I grew up (Santa Barbara, CA) — and light would be coming through the colors of paint, the eyes with nothing really to attach to except color, and occasional reflections of the eyes themselves, but there would be periphery. . . And so it was this unique self-discovered place it put me which I NEED creatively, individually in this metropolis. . . And it was wonderful and . . .

Nowadays, many eyeglass users with or without a vision problem like to pursue fashionable frames. For those needing prescription eyeglasses, they still want to get a stylish look. For those users of non-prescription glasses, an attractive appearance is actually the main purpose. Being fashionable for these individuals usually means wearing the latest eyeglasses. Currently, there are many eyeglass designers thinking about new frame designs every season. Only these special, outstanding designs can help the manufacturers attract as many customers as possible. At the side of most customers, choosing designer eyeglass frames in some degrees represents choosing the latest fashion. With such a purpose, they are quite willing to spend a considerably higher amount of money on a single pair of designer glasses. However, latest glasses are not the only choice for being fashionable and attractive. There are still vintage eyeglass frames, which can also offer a special look.
What does a vintage eyeglass frame means? Actually, it simply refers to a frame that was produced many years ago and is being sold currently again. Vintage eyeglass frames in most cases have been preserved by opticians or estate for decades, during which those frames have never been used since their production. In most cases authentic vintage eyeglass frames are provided without lenses. This is understandable that only quality eye glass frames can be stocked unused for such a long period and still being sturdy. In fact, sturdiness is a critical factor for vintage eyeglass frames. Getting an extraordinary look should not sacrifice the strength of eyeglasses. Some people would like to use those vintage glasses on a daily basis. This is reasonable just like the preference for other fashionable eyeglasses. This is especially true for customers who buy vintage eyeglasses for vision correction. After placing prescription lenses in a vintage frame, it should be strong enough to hold the lenses stably. In fact, most vintage eyeglass frames were originally made of high quality materials. In rare cases, a little adjustment is needed when fitting the lenses.
Choosing vintage eyeglass frames can meet a special taste for some people. In most cases, it is harder to choose an appropriate pair of vintage eyeglasses than selecting a designer pair. This is simply because vintage frames produced decades ago will never come in large quantity. Customers have only a limited range of options. However, this is still the decisive factor which leads to the popularity of vintage eyeglass frames.

Is it possible to have an eyeglass store/eye doctor put sunglass lenses in vintage eyeglass frames?

I need a new pair of sunglasses but can’t find something I like. If I buy a pair of vintage eyeglass frames, is it possible for an eye doctor/Pearle Vision (or whatever) cut out custom sunglass lenses to fit? I don’t need prescription lenses or anything.
If so, about how much would that cost?
