(Do they make prescription spectacles’ frames? - I don’t think [...]

I saw these at a brand new website TrendyGlasses which I think just came on line today or yesterday.  They are all about reading glasses ~ spectacles and seem to have a pretty good range at pretty good prices.
These reading glasses (”readers”) are part of their Rhinestone collection with crystal* in the frame.  They cost $28.97 with prescription [...]
