Yes but only if the frame is in quite good condition. If the frame is weak or has been damaged, it may not be able to take the stress of having new lenses fitted.
It also depends on the lens type. For example, you might not be able to have a pair of reading glasses fitted with varifocal lenses. If your precription has changed dramatically or the frame previously belonged to someone with a different prescription to yours, you may also have difficuties fitting new lenses.
You Optometrist will be able to advise you further. It is impossible to give a definitive answer without knowing your precription and seeing the frame.

Can you replace the lens in reading glasses with the lens from your normal glasses?
Generally reading glass frames are flimsy and of poor quality and do not stand up to the wear and tear of every day use. Add to this the fact that prescription lenses are ground to fit specific frames (no one size fits all) and would have to be ground specially to fit the old frames and the cost becomes prohibitive. If you want "cheap" frames buy them at a yard sale, but bear in mind these may be worn, twisted and out of alignments and still have the problems of grinding the new lenses to fit them.
