I've never ordered a pair of glasses that weren't from my eye Dr. but need some new ones soon
Would it be possible to get these http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=941 fitted with prescription lenses. And if so, where?

Most half decent opticians. Usually works out cheaper than buying the shitty frames they try and palm off on to you. Me and Mme B have resolved to always get vintage or decent (Dita for e.g.) and take them in and get them installed with our prescription lenses. In the UK the majority of the chains will not do this (making there money off the frames) but most good independent opticians will.

Completely agree. Buy the frames you want(online, vintage, etc.) and have a local Optician install some lenses. I had some prescription lenses put in some vintage Ray Bans and it was about $120 I think.
You might like the Freeways from Shuron. They're made a few hours away from you in Greenville, SC I believe and might be half the price of those Dry Bones frames.

In the UK, Specsavers fitted my lenses in my vintage Persols for £62.

I would say it doesn't matter unless you are going for a true 'shrink to fit' and then you want to be sat wearing the jeans in the tub. Bucket works fine in my experience.

That was my concern G is that I would buy the frames and nobody would be able to do the work for me
