    Dollar Tree is not an option for me. They legally cannot sell negative prescriptions for myopia (nearsightedness). They only sell positive prescriptions for farsightedness.

    Go ahead, go check. You won’t find a negative lens anywhere off of a cheap rack.

      That’s what I keep telling you, there’s a reason for that, your asked why, I explained why.

        No, you explained that I have a slight difference between each eye. Obviously. That’s beside the point.

        If I got generic lenses of -4.5 in both eyes, that would do me plenty well enough. Definitely better than no glasses at all.

        But they do not sell any generic negative lenses off the shelf.

        It’s like the system decided to be prejudice against nearsighted people for the corporate wallet.

            You speak of quality. Where’s the quality when my $200+ lenses already have 4 scratches before I even get to the vehicle to head home?

                I keep an old prescription lens in my wallet, and everyone told me that would end up scratched to hell and back. But nope, that emergency lens is fine, after years in my wallet. It was the newer Walmart glasses that I wear daily that couldn’t even make it to the vehicle brand new before getting 4 scratches.

                I don’t need a new prescription, I just need new lenses that ain’t all scratched up and might actually resist scratches. And I find it extremely unfair that farsighted people can just go get generic glasses for like $10, while nearsighted people have no such option.

                  Holy shit dude, do you want people driving with glasses with lenses produced without any quality control? Honestly, at this point I would say that you’re probably better off losing your license if you care so little about your ability to see.

                  I’m done with you, you’re just hopeless.
