Can the optician measure and tell me what is the prescription of the glasses I already have?

I don't want to go to the eye doctor to get an eye exam, my vision haven't change but I want to order a new pair of glasses online (don't need a prescription). If i go to a eyeglass store, are they able to tell me just by examing them what is the prescription of my current eyeglasses? and will they want to do it since i won't be buying from them?

Yes they can tell your RX and most will duplicate the RX in new frames.  Since you're not buying from them they may refuse to do it (I would if I were them) or charge you for it.
