Thank you so much. So can you order your script strength on Amazon?

You can buy readers on Amazon. After my cataract surgery I needed readers for small print in low light so I purchased a pair of bifocal readers. Reading power at bottom and clear on top so that I can wear them shopping without looking like Chuckie Schumer peeking over the top of glasses. The alternative was to put them on and take them off constantly which was annoying.

You can buy readers almost anywhere locally without relying on Amazon.

Do they have them for distance in stores? Maybe they do but I've only seen the readers.

We needed distance glasses which is why I suggested Amazon.

Walmart.com carries distance glasses and Lensmart. I just try to find options other than Amazon with all their stock from China. Heck, maybe most everything is from China😩

I’ve never looked, to be honest. I know you can order reading glasses (+1.0 etc) on Amazon. You can certainly get them at Costco. I always had to order mine special from the optometrist because my prescription was so high - I had to pay extra for custom thinner lenses and edge polishing, things like that. -8.0 glasses are normally like Coke bottle bottoms unless you’re willing to pay more for higher end lenses. My last pair cost over $900. I also had astigmatism corrections, which are part of a custom lens.
