Looking for inexpensive but good quality prism glasses?
 

We have a prescription but just don't know where to fill it. Does Costco make good glasses? Looking for a good company to fill the prescription.

Thanks,

I don't think prism glasses are as difficult to make as progressive lenses and such. The most important part of the equation for me has always been the eye exam accuracy. Hopefully, the examiner was patient and thorough.

Mark,
The eye center at UC Berkeley did the testing so I believe it was complete and accurate. I would like to just get these glasses and not pay top dollar:)

Thanks

Google prism glasses. You will find some ideas about sources for glasses.

Thanks...didn't even think of that:)

Costco does prisms. I got my sunglass ones done there (with amber tint for blocking blue light). I couldn't get my other ones done there because i need a ten % tint and they don't do that,.
I am in Canada. The prices were good, and I don't think that a prism was much more than normal single lenses. 10-15$$$ if anything?

You can save $ by using your own frames, and usually smaller frames work better for prisms.

The issue with prisms is getting a quality lab that can produce quality prisms. My local eye doctor had to send the frames back twice (I have very bad eyes, astigmatism, bifocals, etc). But the final pair worked quite nicely.

The prisms were not an instant panacea. They helped but did not resolve a lot of my vision issues. It made reading easier for me (I went from 5 minutes to 1 hour). But after an hour, there is still pain. (My eyes don't work together, so the brain turns off one image, but the brain still receives both images, so it has to choose which one which is best which results in headaches).

You can probably use a local optometrist in SJ that you trust or Costco.

Thank you for the suggestions...I believe that she gets a free pair of glasses every other yr. She doesn't technically wear them so hopefully our eye place can come through. Interesting about getting smaller frames--that is most helpful.
