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.
