Buying glasses online (usually wear varifocals) but need for driving

I usually wear varifocals but have separate pair for driving which are not varifocals.

To order some new driving glasses do I just add in the prescription I have R2.25 and L1.75?

And when buying new varifocals would I only need those prescription values?

i am a bit cofused, but do need to order some driving glasses asap.

I wouldn't buy verifocals online as its very difficult to get the pupil measurements and positioning accurate. My DH got some from a reputable website but they were never quite right and money wasted.

Hi Op

Do you mean order online from a company like glasses direct? Or order from your normal optician but online rather than going in?

Your optician will have your history and correct measurements & I would imagine you would just be able to choose some frames online & get the correct prescription fitted.

Yes prob from specsavers, i will go into store for the varifocals but need to replace my driving glasses which I was hoping to do online.
