Glasses by intnl mail order?

Is there any foreign place that will mail order glasses into the US? I
want to write my own prescription but archaic rules won't let me do
this within US. Willing to take risk of misfitting frames, wrong
prescription, etc.

Reason is I simply want to tweak the spherical by a quarter diopter or
two for special purposes like medium range tasks (not just reading).
Under the current regime, this would take multiple visits to eye docs
who would half the time tweak things in the wrong direction based on
transitory things like lazy or tired eyes.

Oy.

Dear DumbStruck,

If the recent eye-medical exam
showed no true medical "problem",
then you should be able to
use the following site:

Maybe it would be better if
you don't tell us the results.

Best,
