directly from them or bps i know does them with the perscription
Politicians, baseball players, high-powered corporate CEO's they all seem to eventually let us down. Nature, however, does not. Look to her for inspiration and you will learn the secrets to living a good life. The most Important lesson it would seem is to make sure you spend as much time fishing as anything else.

Unless you have a very simple prescription, I would contact Costa by telephone to find a participating optician in your area that handles Costa Del Mar products.
Progressive prescriptions have to be fitted to your face to work properly. Once he gets your 'script, the optician will take the frames that fit your face best and mark the necessary places on the lenses for the corrections to line up. He then sends all this information to Costa for them to create the lenses.
This information comes from my optician, btw.
  I've never killed anyone, but I've read several obituaries with great enjoyment.

Above all else hold these two things in the greatest of circumspection; government and self. YOLO=Schiefspiegler

They simply popped out the Costa lens and popped in the new ones about 4 days later when they came in.

Just go to their web site. Put in your zip code and all authorized dealers will appear. Those who offer prescription service will be identified. I just got mine in dark grey. Progressive lenses and Blackfin style cost total of $450.00.
Good luck
