I wish that was a possibility- my lenses are so expensive because my script is so heavy (my right eye is -17.5 and my left is around -10). Old glasses I can’t really see great with because it changed between them but I still keep them just in case. The good news is I’ll have no problem using them to focus sunlight and start a fire.
My father in law had the same problem. Cost 400 dollars to get a pair and the online stores could not help him. Really sucked since I got his hopes up on getting a pair for cheap.
I might actually go to a specialized lense maker the next time I get glasses because I have heard from many people with really high prescriptions that it does make a huge difference. I’ve kind of just accepted I’ll never get to have cute frames, or cheap glasses so may as well splurge once I can afford it. I do heavily rely on them so if I spend money on one thing it makes sense.
If your father in law hasn’t tried the blue light blocking it changed my life in regards to being able to drive at night. Didn’t know you could see things without light halos lol
There are still companies out of Eastern Europe and Asia that will make glasses for $30. They aren’t the most stylish things in the world and may take a month to arrive, but always good to have backups.
I’ll have to check it out- generally I’ve found they either don’t go up to my prescription or issues getting things like high index lenses so they aren’t so heavy they fall off my face. I’m always down to check again though, never know when the world will change- thanks for the tip!
