As per the topic title, I'm one of many people in America living in precarious economic conditions. I finally want to double down and get glasses, because I feel at this point in my life I'd like to see a little clearer when not looking at screens, and can make out the distance better. It's not the literal end of the world if I do not get glasses, but I feel it's an obstacle to observe things in the mid-range in terms of distance. I consider it a small personal "self-improvement" goal, primarily.
That said, where I live, I cannot find any local place that takes Medicaid, which is the health insurance I have. For this reason, I know I'd be easily spending $100+ on glasses, and as I would be using them for when I'm out of the house, which I rarely am; I find that very pricey. I was curious what routes I can go to in order to help lower costs. I'm presuming I should get an eye exam and then perhaps search outside of a brand-named store that only sells glasses.
What kind of route would you all suggest? I don't know the state of my eyes, so I've had no tests done, and I believe I should have a test so I know the variables I should be looking for when it comes to glasses. Then again, as I do not know much here, I'm not sure if that's the only way to go about this.
