 Sources of very economical "prescription"?
Is it possible.

Okay, my original pair cost over $100. i managed to get the next two
down to something reasonable (~$35 each) by asking for "safety glasses"
aka I didn't give a dame about the frames and only had a choice of colours.

However, I notice that I can buy cheap magnifying glasses for $2.50 each.

My understanding is that "prescription" glases also correct for
astigmatism, which is a lens rotation, it made me wonder if anyone knew
of cheap magnifying glasses in Round shapes?

Then I could mix and match.

 

Prescription glasses, like any other prescription, address the needs of
the patient. Not all prescriptions are the same. If you have an
astigmatism, your eye glass prescription needs to address that problem.
If you don't have an astigmatism, your lenses certainly will not correct
for it: it depends entirely on you. If you just need reading glasses,
you can buy them for a few dollars at any drug store. You should also
get a thorough eye exam every other year.

Well, you could squint a lot. Think Clint Eastwood.

My thoughts were that if I could source lenses, then I could copy the
prescription. I have my eyes checked almost quarterly. it is just that
from day to day focal lengths change,so rather than spend $1,000+ on a
board of eye glasses to cater, I was wonderig if I could roll my own so
to speak.
