Except the last glasses I got. Had my exam with the ophthalmologist, but took the prescription to Costco (doctor office cost for lenses and frames were 3-4?times as much).
Glasses were horrible. Couldn’t see well driving at night and right lens wouldn’t focus just watching tv.

My problem is I don’t know whether the exam or the lens making was at fault. From now on, I’ll have the exam where I get the glasses.
