How come you can buy reading glasses for a few bucks at pharmacies or Wal-Mart, but they don’t make them for being able to see farther away?

Question

Is the lens grinding process more complicated or is there just too much variation in eyesight to make them feasible on a mass scale?

Answer 1

I’m sleeping in my -6.5 contacts (i know. I know) with astigmatism because my 1.67 index glasses hurt to wear after being adjusted a million times. They were supposed to be 1.74 . Online prices aren’t any better for lenses and insurance evens the frame prices out. Doc said I have to wait for my cataracts to worsen as Lasix isn’t an option. My genetics are garbage. Thankfully my kids faired better.
