Sure. I do it all the time with Zenni, sometimes ordering two strengths in the same order. In my case, that's to get both distance and "computer" glasses. The only time I was asked for a prescription was when Zenni thought I might be filling in the prescription information incorrectly. (I wasn't--I have an extreme prescription and it made sense for them to question it.) In the unlikely case anyone does ask, tell them you're ordering reading glasses.
