My problem is that I need different prescriptions early and late in the day, in addition to different distances. A few years ago I bought a set of test lenses and a frame so I could measure my own prescription, and ordered a couple of pairs that were better than I'd had from an optometrist for a while. I've had even better results using an EyeQue device, but that only measures distance vision so I still need the lens set for the "add" on my near vision. Honestly, optometrists are a waste of time and money. However, it's still a good idea to visit an ophthalmologist from time to time as they can evaluate eye health in addition to optics. Glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and retinal detachment are all worth detecting early.
