I go to the optical shop, the optometrist checks my eyes and prepares a pair of suitable eyeglasses for me.

I ____?____ a pair of eyeglasses in the optical shop.

What is the correct verb to be used?

I am not a student asking homework.

I am a retired person, usually when I wake up at about 3 or 4 am there are various questions come to my mind, the question may be about computer, my pet dog, English…etc.

This is one of the questions.

... and in BrE we say 'glasses' or 'specs' (spectacles).

I am not a student asking about homework.
It certainly looks like you are, bigC, to students and visitors to the thread, who will be watching with interest to see if this a forum where they can get free homework answers.

It would be useful if you reminded us of your motivation in future posts, and at least make a reasonable attempt at an answer for yourself.

"Picked up" if you have them. "Picked out" if you selected them, but need to pick them up later.
