<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">My Dad had a set of "test lenses" like the ones optometrists used to use. Unfortunately when he died we sold or gave the set away.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">These sets can be bought on Amazon and other places for $178 (plastic rimmed) to $229 (metal rimmed) complete with a case. This includes the calibrated frame into which the lenses are inserted. (The frame is calibrated to allow rotation of the cylinder lenses, so as to determine the angle of an astigmatism correction.) </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I wouldn't go cheap with the lens kits, unless you can find a retired optometrist or someone else who has a kit they no longer want or need. Lens quality is important in this kit, so lower price may mean lower quality lenses, which could defeat your purpose.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">-- Bob Primak </div><div><br></div>
