A member asked:
Is it possible to buy non-prescription glasses online and go to my optometrist to get it prescribed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: You will need a proper prescription (best from an ophthalmologist), to order glasses on line. An optometrist is unlikely to to check them after you obtain them although ophthalmologists are more generous in this respect since they are not threatened by online prescriptive glasses.
