Vision USA

A friend told me about Vision USA. Here’s what their site says about them:

If you do not qualify for government aid or private health care assistance that covers the cost of routine eye or vision care, VISION USAâ„¢ can help. VISION USAâ„¢ provides basic eye health and vision care services free of charge to uninsured, low-income people and their families.

Since that describes me, I filled out an application (on their site). A couple weeks later, I had given up, figuring they had disqualified me for some reason. That same day, I received a letter in the mail letting me know I had been approved, and to call the listed optometrist as soon as possible to set up an appointment.

I did so, and yesterday I went in for my eye exam. They were very nice people (and I learned that there are a LOT of NEAT new machines for measuring eye health and prescription!) and very professional, as well as friendly.

They also included a pair of glasses with the deal, which I should have in about a week! I also ordered a pair from Zenni Optical which will arrive in about two weeks.

I can hardly wait!
