Anyone who buys reading glasses without a perscription from an eye doctor is out of his/her mind. That is a good way to ruin your eyes!
For those of you who are Veterans and are registered with the VA for health care, Go to the nearest VA clinic or hospital. They will examine your eyes and give you the correct glasses for free. Don't ruin your eyes.

My eye doctor told me that if I wanted a cheap pair of glasses for whatever, to take my prescription in and match it up with the readers on the rack. Said it wouldnt hurt a thing!
WRONG they will do the exam for free but no glasses unless service related. My eye sight went bad after having viral menengitis in 1987 while on active duty. VA has determined NOT service related, appeal did not help.
Who did you piss off. Every 2 years I go in and get a checkup and 1 pair of glasses. The checkup I have been given each time is way more thorough than what I have paid for.
My eye doctor, an actual opthalmologist, diagnosed my presbyopia many years ago. At that time, there was no surgical correction for the condition. The doctor told me to go to the drug store and buy reading glasses. He said that's what he does, and he pulled a pair of drug store cheapies out of his pocket.
Same here, brother in law is an Opthamologist. Not related to topic, but here it goes, he called me a couple days ago telling me about the great deal he got on an AK-47 from one of his patients[:)]

VA sucz, big $'s go to the people on "free stuff". All the vets get is crap.
Bingo! Correct!

I guess it all comes down to which side you fought for, North or South. [:D][:D]

The VA called me in for an eye exam. They discovered that my prescription needed to be changed, and I was called back again to pick up the new pair in one of the frame styles that they had me select from at the time of the exam.
Wish we could get dental care like illegals on the deportation list get at no charge.
I will give them a call and try again.
For the most part, they do good.

Yep Dental care would be great if they did it.
