If you still have your existing eye rx and you know for sure your eyes haven’t changed, you can give one of the online retailers like Zenni a try. I’ve gotten glasses for as little as $20 out of pocket, which I understand is still a bit much when you’re trying to make ends meet. But it’s better than the outrageous markup you’ll see in the eye doctor showrooms.

I wish I did and I wish my eyes hadn't changed, lol. But I both probably don't have any old rxs laying around and my eyes have 100% changed. I know eye exams are fairly cheap at a Walmart, but the only Walmarts with vision centers I see are either very far away in Mass or fairly close in Mass but with reviews sayin they are closed.

Edit: I also work night shift and live a nigh shift type schedule, so fuck me I guess.

I think Target in Lincoln and Seekonk does eye exams for under $100ish. They have the costs and ability to make appointments on their website. I suggest going to there or the places anyone else recommends for a cheap eye exam to get an updated prescription.

Ask them for a copy once you are done with appointment, then use eyebuydirect or zenni or firmoo to order a pair. My family has been doing this for ages. Last pair of glasses my partner got from Eyebuydirect cost $39 and were delivered to the house in about 1.5 to 2 weeks after placing order. Great quality too.
