I don’t think there are a lot of people in the US who have vision insurance.  I was reading an article on New York Times about this very thing.  It stated that only 17% of employers offer a vision plan to their employees.  We did have vision insurance until my husband became self-employed.  Now?  No vision insurance for us.  But guess what?  I need glasses.  I need them in order to see far away.  So, I have two choices.  Don’t wear any eyeglasses and have a hard time seeing.  Or cough up a bunch of money for glasses.

Turns out- there is another choice.  In that very same article in New York Times they mention an optical site that offers discounts on eyeglasses and anti wrinkle eye cream .  This company offers generic frames which includes your lenses for $8 and up, email me and I’ll direct you to the site.  Now that?  I can afford.  I can even afford to buy a couple of pairs just in case I lose or ruin one.

Basically what I am telling you is- if you need glasses but you don’t have a vision plan you can still afford to buy the glasses you need.
