Can prescription
swimming goggles be made? Are there other alternatives?

My wife has prescription goggles that were made specifically for her by
our
optometrist.. It took them about a month to make them, but they fit well
and look otherwise just like any other pair of goggles (except
considerably
more expensive than your run-of-the-mill goggles).

Did she have to buy the goggles first at a swimwear vendor and then bring
them into her optician to get the prescription filled, or did they actually
have the goggle frames available there?

No.. She had them make the entire goggles for her.. I guess they measure her
head or something to get the right length for the band, etc.. They basically
gave her a box after several weeks with the premade goggles in it. I'll see
if I can find out exactly what they measured, etc.
