You know, this is so blindingly obvious I never thought of it. Haha! Great idea.
edit: I actually can't believe I didn't think of this. Chuckling away to myself here.
edit 2: I looked up the opticians I bought from and they have a page about scratches that says they can't unfortunately. :( It recommends new lenses. Not sure if that's profit motive or not though.

Last time I bought glasses there, it cost me ~60$ for 2 pairs. Both with scratch resistant coatings, and one with a photochromic coating (auto tint in sunlight).
Just wanted to come back and say thanks. I emailed my optician for my prescription and bought a pair of glasses off this site for €17 delivered (about $19 USD). Do you mind me asking how long yours took to arrive? I'm in one of the "standard delivery" countries.
If I remember right, it was just over 2 weeks; but it's been a couple years since I ordered.
I've ordered my last 2 sets from there, and had at least 3 family members ordering from there too. We've never had any issues aside from one poorly fitting set, which they returned and got fresh ones free of charge. I really couldn't be happier with goggles4u.
I've really got to get around to seeing the optometrist and getting a fresh prescription... Time flies.
You will not believe this but when I emailed for my prescription earlier I was told I'm well overdue (2021 was my last test) and I said "time flies". She took the time to write "OUT OF DATE" twice on the scan.
Thanks for the timeline.
