Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription?

That’s what people in the US mostly do.

You are still getting a glasses prescription, but since you are purchasing from the eye doctor who examined you, the “need” for a prescription is abstracted away.

If you called and asked for a written prescription, they would give it to you
