I lost my glasses 6 weeks ago. It’s a beast. I want to look for them but can’t find them because I can’t see.
Chicken/Egg type thing. Sucks.
Where do you buy your prescription glasses?

I got 2 pair of prescription sunglasses with progressive lenses and mirror added for a couple hundred bucks. Stupid bifocals aren't cheap. This was from Costco. I'll be going back to them in the future for more frames and lenses when I need them.

Costco. I went with the transitions. Didn't see the need to get glasses and sunglasses.
Yeah... for some reason the transition lenses remind me of the "Are you looking like your Dad?" commercials... still trying to kick that can down the road a few more years...

LOL I'm 64 soon to be 65. I wear Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses on the course that are not prescription.
Yeah... that's cool. My Dad will be 70 this summer. If he played golf, he'd definitely find an old pair of glasses with clip-on tinted lenses... Lol...
My golf buddy just turned 64, he has transitions too... He's been called both my "dad" (insulting him) and my "brother" (insulting me) at courses we've played all over the place. We really don't look similar but are about the same height/build & wear glasses... It's always comical
Get mine at eyeglass world. They have a good deal with our insurance, Davis Vision, so I've gotten Oakley bifocal sunglasses and regular glasses there
Funny this thread popped up... 2 nights ago I tripped over my deaf/blind dog and when falling/avoiding him I fell pretty hard and hit my head and broke my Warby Parkers! I am damn lucky they didn't pierce my eye. But took less than 2 minutes to reorder a new pair! $95 loss and a bit of pride. And Brownie is fine didn't land on him...
If your prescription is solid I can't recommend them enough.

Got my Sunglass and regular eyeglasses from America's Best. Have had no cause to regret this decision. Both are prescription.
Costco or a local optometrist. Costco doesnt have some lenses I want, ( Transitions Drivewear) but they sure have the right price on the ones they do have ( Like Transitions XTra Active).

I have alway got from a local couple of shops but have had struggles getting the script right. I just had eye exam about 3 months ago and prisms are now part of my script so decided to upgrade a go to Lenscrafters as they do much more extend measurements. Despite 50% discount they were pretty expensive but probably the first time in 10 years I can see clearly with my everyday progressives.
Downside is I still cannot wear either my progressive everyday or sunglasses to play golf as depth perception is off so wear a pair of transitions with a 10+ year script that isn’t perfect but at least I don’t top the ball when playing.

America’s Best for my exam and first pair. Then I use my prescription at EyebuyDirect.com for shades and computer glasses.

I had the same issue when I wore progressives. I took an old pair of frames to my optometrist and had them make lenses with just my distance script and install them in the old frames. Single script lenses aren't that expensive, and they worked great for me.
A few years ago I went to my optometrist thinking I needed some new glasses. He kept fiddling with the machine, finally saying that he couldn't get me "dialed in" right. He did a different exam and told me that I needed my cataracts done and gave me a referral. My distance vision is now 20/20 in both eyes, but I need the drugstore cheaters to read. It's wonderful being able to see drives land again. Absolutely amazing what they can do.
