Where can i get pre made reading glasses

Hi I'm in Colombo for 4 days. Unfortunately I lost my reading glasses. Where I'm from you can walk into any Chemist / pharmacy and get off the shelf reading glasses. I went to a Chemist here but they pointed me to an optometrist shop. I went in and it didn't look like they had any. I tried to talk to the person there but they were on the phone abs I had to leave.

Can you get reading glasses that are already made here in Sri Lanka and if so where can I get them from. I'm travelling for a couple of more weeks and it would be handy to have.

Eg a shop will sell a bunch of premade glasses already made up with prescription 1, 1.5, 2, 2 5, 3 etc etc

I think my Omega 3s are messed up. Help

I think my Omega 3s are messed up but need help interpreting the report.

I took an Omega 3 test and I seem to fall within the normal range where they have range information. However there's a lot of other info with no range and when I ran it through AI and it said that my EPA is very low and the ratio AA:EPA is way too. And also that they're possibly contributing to some of my health issues. I dont know how true this as I have googled it and haven't found any sources of good information. 

As background - I've had diagnosed CFS and unexplained fatigue / PEMS for over 40 years since I was a teen and also long covid in more recent years. I recently learnt I have the APEO4 gene which can cause increased risk of dementia etc. One doctor I was listening to said that it would be good to get Omega 3s tested as the APOE4 gene can affect lipids.  I'm currently very fatigued and have brain fog, and focus issues. So I'm wondering if an imbalance in my Omega 3s is a possible cause.

(As an aside before anyone asks ... I've done a massive amount of testing on anything else I can think of and nothing else has even remotely come up as being abnormal. For instance My bioage tests all show that I'm  well below chronological age even though I feel unwell most of the time )

If anyone knows how to interpret my results or can suggest resources which will help me figure it out myself I'll be really appreciative. I guess the main thing I want to know is that if my Omega3s really are messed up or not and if there is anything else in the report I should be concerned about. Thanks
