where could someone find a pair of sturdy, comfortable goggles that an optometrist can put a prescription into?

they've broken 8 times since I bought them in 2019 bc I'm not able to catch them when they fall and due to disability, it's a tremendous ordeal to even find an accessible optometrist, much less get fitted and update my prescription, so they are held together with superglue, spare screws and scrap fabric

Just get a cord for your glasses. I have no disability, and also used to drop mines all the time. They cost as low as 1$ for cheaper ones. I ended up buying a nice gold chain for them since I've been using a cord for years and it looks better with a chain.
