Perhaps there are a lot of options where you live but we are not all so lucky to have thrift stores that carry such items.

I live in a remote area and on somethings its a take it or leave it situation, and even reusing my old frames I'm still over $400.00 because of the price of my lens cost me. Other areas might sell for less but by the time I travel there I'm right back to where I started,so my options are few to none.

I so agree, my little granddaughter was sick and the prescription she needed was not covered by BC's healthy kids program and her mom is disabled with little money for extras so we had to help her again. So far we've had to pay for the little ones eye glasses and now 5000.00 for braces. we are not rich and the money we are using was for our retirement. And I hate to think of others that don't have this much support. Our country is far behind, too far behind. And for the life of me I can't understand why we can't get yearly medicals. You'd think preventive care and catching any major issues with ones health, might be less money to treat than waiting till it becomes a battle.
