Of course, you can. Just take your prescription reading glasses to your optometrist and tell him that you want to put your prescription reading glasses into sunglasses frames. And the staff there will help you to find the sunglasses frame that can hold your prescription reading glasses. But it is difficult to find one that can have your lenses fitted properly. However, you can buy a new pair of reading glasses with big frames.

Yes, you place prescription reading glasses lenses if your sunglasses frames are normal and not too big frames. If you just want to get vision aids and eye protections from UV rays, you can buy prescription sunglasses or clip on sunglasses to help you. But if you really want big sunglasses for purposes, maybe you can try fit over sunglasses that allow you wearing prescription eyeglasses inside and cover a big sunglasses outside.
