Get a new prescription, fucking hell...
Please explain, why can people go to the Dollar Tree and purchase a positive prescription for super cheap, but people with a negative prescription get fucked in the ass?
Because quality doesn't really matter if it's glasses you're wearing on and off to read things close to your eyes but if you read a lot you won't buy cheap dollar tree glasses and if it's to see at a distance you'll wear the glasses at all times.
My vision is better than yours and I still wouldn't do shit without my glasses.
The quality of my prescription is just fine, even if it is outdated. The quality of the lenses and frames is what's messed up. The lenses are scratched to hell and back, and the frames snapped in two over a year ago and are rigged back up with a hairpin.
And of course, Walmart is shutting down all of their health centers..
I'd be ecstatic if I could just get my last prescription remade by a different company in different frames. It's not like the lenses are out of focus, they're just extremely scratched up.
Ok, back to my point and not whatever you understood, it's about the quality of the glasses, not the prescription. Hell, your prescription is clear, both your eyes aren't the same, try to find dollar tree glasses with different prescriptions in each eyes, good luck.
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.

It's a conversation, what was said in previous messages doesn't cease to exist just because I sent another reply.
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?
Sounds like a you issue more than a quality issue to me.
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.
