eyeglasses

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.

I ordered inexpensive glasses from www.39dollarglasses.com and I think
they are a very good value for the price.

So you don't know of any other sources other than the expensive pay
someone else todo it method.

I'm guessing you enjoy do-it-yourself prostate exams.

To quote the TV scammers, I don't have a weak and interrupted urinal stream.

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.

If your prescription changes that often, I suspect you have bigger
problems than trying to find cheap glasses.
If, OTOH, you just want different focal-length glasses for more-or-less
close work at different distances and are normally hyperopic, various
dollar stores will be able to provide you with a full wardrobe for --
you guessed it -- a buck each.

Nope, you got the purpose, but not the earlier point for the post. These
$1 each are only magnifyers, which you can easily match, but they don't
fix other problems.

zennioptical.com sells complete prescription eyeglasses for as little
as $8. You could order several each with its own prescription. With
multiples of the same frame you could even mix and match.

office in California, but the eye glasses are shipped from Hong Kong. Click
in your prescription, and the eye glasses arrive in a couple weeks. Worked
for me.
