In Germany they usually just give you a little credit-card-sized card with your glasses that has all the information about the lenses (and thus your prescription) on it.

yes, tho the point of the article is that you need a fast expiring prescription in the US. Even if you have the information you cannot directly buy glasses.

They don't even tell you the numbers, unless you insist. On they used to not tell you the numbers at all even after insisting..

Not from a brick and mortar store, but you can online from places like Zenni.
