Christineirene, would it be possible for your Mom to see an Ophthalmologist? Why I ask is that such an eye doctor has what is called an AutoRefractor that actually reads one's eyes for a prescription. These computerized machines have been around for many years.
When Mom ran her glasses over with her wheelchair, I called the eye doc and had him make her a new pair based off the old prescription, after I picked out the new frames. I even told her Medicare covered the ridiculous cost because she'd have freaked out knowing SHE had to shell out so much money for a new pair of glasses she "had no idea" how got broken. Get crafty.
If you are not sure if the glasses are over-the-counter reading glasses or prescription, check the tiny numbers on the inside of the frame. That number may indicate number (for example 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 3.25, 3.50 etc. ) of reading glasses needed.
All you need is her prescription. Then you can get her frames and lenses anywhere. You could see if she can still get the same frames and just put the lenses back in.
My nephew was 8 months old when he got his first pair of glasses. I asked the doctor how he knew the strength my nephew needed. He said by how the light refracs off the eye.
If she only broke the frames, call the place where she got the glasses and ask them to order the exact same frames. They should have that info in their records. They can then put the lenses in the new frames and you're good to go.
Contact different optometrists and ask if they have an autorefractor, a machine that can help identify the correct prescription, this will solve the challenge of answering questions properly.
Try first where she got these glasses and speak of repair or replacement.
Then I would go wherever she got her prior glasses and discuss, or where she got her last exam. Explain that she won't be able to cooperate with the exam ("Which can you see better. This one or this one?'). If it has been fewer than two years you can likely use the old script and order new glasses. She should have at least every year or two exam for eye health, and so you know status, whether there are cataracts and so on, but with both dental and eye exams at some point this does become almost impossible.
You could probably find frames that fit the same size bring the lenses to a Place called Warby Parkers - I was able to fit Old Lenses into another frame . or where ever she Purchased that frame they will have a similar size .
I would just get the prescription from the place where she had her last ones done, and use that one.
If that’s not possible, you can borrow the old lenses from her, and the optometrist can use a machine to “read” her old lenses and figure out the prescription.
