I had the same problem when I went to get prescription sunglasses. I had to settle for less sporty pair as Lenscrafters said Oakely won't make them for my vision.

Apparently I don't qualify for contact lenses as well. Is it just a Lenscrafters thing or is it standard practice among every doc office?

One of the LBS had a really cool pair that I loved, but w/o a prescription they are useless.

Mine should be here in another week and I hope they work. Apparently "under an hour" doesn't apply to most of their glasses..LOL!
