Default Reading glasses

Some of us need to wear reading glasses to do home repair (thus why no
OT in the subject line).
My question. I can go to the optometrist and have all the tests taken
and then get glasses costing hundreds of dollars.
I can go to the drugstore and other places and get cheap reading
glasses, but they are only sold in single diopters. i.e. 1.00, 1.75, etc.
Why can't I find these cheap reading glasses that come in more than one
diopter, like gradients from 1.00 to 3.00 in the same lenses, 3.00 being
at the bottom of the lens and 1.00 at the top?
Is there some sort of restriction on the sale of these glasses?
Just curious, but maybe someone here knows.
