Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

[goosehd]

@Clint_D The optical shop I frequent makes it look easy with no issues. They put pressure on the lens with their thumbs while supporting the frame using their hands to pop the lens out.

I haven’t done it myself though…

[Kasi]

I wouldn’t possibly recommend doing them yourself, Opticians swap it over for me less hassle no headache.

They have some kind of heating machine. When mine was done.

Jmm can be pretty tight to remove. Watch a video on how to do it but stop if you aren't comfortable doing it. Fwiw, I just had rx put in a pair and the lab broke the original etched jmm lens.

Having said that, I've popped lenses out without issue.

Does anyone know the average cost to swap Rx lenses in JMM frames?

[goosehd]

@Danimal506 Too many variables…prescription, coatings, manufacture, variable focus, etc. can affect your costs.

I just did a prescription and it was over $1000.

[pechelman]

100% on there being too many variables with lens type, your actual rx, coatings, and mostly the place you get it done at.
On the lowest end of the spectrum, expect to pay no less/more than about ~100$ from a mail order place.

For a mild Rx in CR39, single vision, one plain tint, AR coatings, no polarization, that kinda thing, from a shop you have a good relationship at, I'd say something in the 200$ region to be normal. Fwiw, I got another quote from my actual eyedoctor's optometrist and it was more than 2X that for the exact same thing AFTER insurance.

[Clint_D]

It typically costs me ~$300 in order to have prescription tinted lenses fitted. That's with trivex lenses, anti-reflective coating and custom color tint.

I was quoted around 300 in Atlanta as well for roundabout what Clint highlights above. Specifically for jmm

Thank you everyone!

Local pawnshop had a pair of JMM’s in a glass case with a bunch of Michael Kors, Ray Ban, Coach and such. I about lost it when I saw 49.99 on the tag.

Had them take it out for me to see, and it was actually $449.99. No box or case, just the glasses. Womp. Not 100% sure on the model, but looked like the Sandro.

Look at that, sunglasses with my name!

@JDelage those are pretty incredible looking. Really like how the temples have the arrow heads that fit into the slots on the front. They've done this on a few other frames before, but something about this one looks to have the best execution. Hope you snag a pair!

[Graeme]

@JDelage obviously you need to get yourself a pair.

I'm tempted by that style too. It's got a small lens, so it'll work well with my prescription.

There's a JMM sale going on at one of the Australian dealers. Circa 30% off a number of styles, including the Jeff in Zebra for @Anesthetist.
