So we went to a different chain optic center and handed over the glasses and they made new glasses based upon those glasses' prescription. So if you don't want to get a new prescription, just have them make lenses off of your old glasses.

You were lucky. My Walmart refused to make replacement lenses to match my old scratched ones, and made me go and get a new Rx. The in-store ophthalmologist refracted my eyes, wrote me a new Rx, and when I got the glasses, I couldn't see as well as the old ones. So I went back to the Ophthalmologist, explained it to her, asked to have a Rx written the same as my old glasses, had them made, and now I can see perfectly. That was more than a year ago (it seems like it was just yesterday), so if I broke my glasses now, I'd have to go through the whole rigamarole all over again.
