Where can I buy spectacles for myopia off the shelf?

I know you get prescription glasses for hypermyopia i.e +1.0,+2.0 etc reading glasses off the shelf but I havent found any store selling prescription glasses for myopia ? Does anyone know where can I find the place?

Myopia, also known as short sightness, requires a prescription from an optician,as both eyes will not identical in terms of short sightness. You can buy the frame without any lenses from any optician and save them for a later date. The lenses will be made to your prescription and therefore if you want to save money you can replace the lenses on your existing pair of glasses (it's good to have two pair of glasses).

You've answered your own question friend. You can't buy prescription glasses off the shelf because you need a prescription, and to get one you need an eye examination.

But even if you could, you wouldn't be doing yourself any favours . You might even damage your eyesight. You need to be examined to get the correct lens for your requirements.

I don't think you can. If you know your perscription, you can get relatively inexpensive ones from a discount source such as WalMart or 4eyes.
