I'm sure if you take them along to the pharmacy and ask for help someone there would be only too willing to assist you.
I find most pharmacy staff very helpful.
(I hope you can read this).

..mm...bad idea, buying those try and buy specs....both lenses are the same so they won't match both of your eyes, which are never quite the same...well mine never are at least..visit an optician and you will get your eyes tested not only for glasses but for other possible deseases at the same time..
Eyesight is a very precious thing...treat it with the respect it obviously deserves...
Just my honest opinion BG...they are your eyes...??

Daughter sat on hers and we just took her prescription along to Specsavers and chose a cheap frame and by the time we'd done the supermarket run the new specs were ready for collection and all for the princely sum of £25 - she was very happy
