where could someone find a pair of sturdy, comfortable goggles that an optometrist can put a prescription into?
Have a look at Zenni.com. I ship their glasses to Australia, and bought three pairs for 1/4 the price of a single pair here
+1 for Zenni. Been using them for years, and just bought a new pair yesterday. Paid $50 for a top end pair of glasses, can easily get a pair for $20 if you don’t want all the fancy coatings.
Why are they unwearable?
They are covered with bees
they’ve broken 8 times since I bought them in 2019 bc I’m not able to catch them when they fall and due to disability, it’s a tremendous ordeal to even find an accessible optometrist, much less get fitted and update my prescription, so they are held together with superglue, spare screws and scrap fabric
Just get a cord for your glasses. I have no disability, and also used to drop mines all the time. They cost as low as 1$ for cheaper ones. I ended up buying a nice gold chain for them since I’ve been using a cord for years and it looks better with a chain.
I think I shall, thank you
Get that cord on baby!
