In the US you can get glasses for cheap. It all depends though. Like “reading glasses” can be as cheap as $8 for a pair. But often less expensive glasses here don’t measure up well. Like they usually have the same prescription for both eyes- and so aren’t great for astigmatism. They also have more distortion so you can “see” but not well. They’re usually “ready made” in generic prescriptions too- so if you don’t need what they have you just have to go with what is “closest.” Comfort, style, and quality can also suck. Most people I know with glasses tend to pay around $200-300 a pair if they aren’t picky on brand, and $500-1,000 a pair if they want “high end designer” glasses.
GUYS GUYS IF YOU KNOW YOUR PRESCRIPTION YOU CAN ORDER YOUR GLASSES FOR UNDER 50$ TRY zennioptical. I got my backup pair from there, they have the cool try on option which reminds me of the moving paintings in harry potter. I think they are Canadian based???? there are other websites but thats the one eye use. SEE ya later.
@harperfan7 Ah yes its irresponsible, a 3yr old needing to seal teeth because they are too soft, or have reforming issues resulting in pulling, needing retainers, mouth overcrowding from wisdom teeth, tmj, over bite, under-bite, worn from life, having reflux destroy enamel, the millions of issues caused by simply being alive.
