But I have 100 or so glasses of varying magnifications and I want to
sort and label them.

Is there an easy/cheap method of measuring magnification?

Web searches are just turning up pages telling me how to figure out
what strength I need. I want to know what strength I *have*.

Thanks

I assumed you've checked this already, but I'll toss it out there anyway...

Some brands put the magnification strength on the arm, either engraved in
or printed on the rubber ear cushion.

Go to Target or Walmart. Their eye glass place has a machine that can
tell what the strength of the eye wear is. Probably do it for nothing
but a tip might help.
