Prescription Glasses are a plain pair of corrective glasses. They are an accessory for the Eyes slot. They are the standard vision aid for a character with poor eyesight.
Their purpose is to counter the Short Sighted trait. While they are worn, the blurred view of the trait goes away. They also remove the foraging penalty that the trait brings. They weigh next to nothing.
They are the easiest prescription pair to find. Glasses stores stock them almost every time. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
For a Short Sighted character, these glasses are one of the most important pieces in the game. They restore normal sight while worn. Searching for food and supplies in the wild also works at full strength again.
They take the Eyes slot, so they replace any other glasses. Breathing masks, breathing apparatus, eye masks, full head pieces and full suits with a hood clash with them. A gas mask or a full helmet forces a choice between the mask and clear sight.
A hit or a fall knocks them off about half the time. A lost pair leaves a Short Sighted character with blurred sight in the middle of a fight. Picking them up right after the fight is worth the habit. The Prescription Shooting Glasses stay on far more reliably.
Locations
Glasses stores are where Prescription Glasses live. Their display cases and shelves hold a pair almost every time, and their counters hold one now and then. Pawn shop display cases are almost as reliable. A Short Sighted character should head for the nearest glasses store early on.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
