How to get new glasses
It made me 
"I'm afraid I'm going to skew the results since I can only get new glasses every two years; although looking at the set of glasses I've been saving over the years (I can't see through most of them) two years is about max, for me."
How I did it: Unfortunately this will probably help you only if you get your glasses from the Veterans Administration. For all the bad press the VA gets I've been treated there for more than just glasses and got terrific treatment. But then again I was in during Vietnam and my disability is a far cry from the bad cases in every war, especially our troops in Iraq in Afganistan. That's enough of that! From glasses to an onset of a PTSD episode.Yuk.
Lessons & tips: Work somewhere that has a health plan that covers glasses--if you can. If you can't, make it a priority to stash the cash away until you can afford it. Don't mess with your vision. Styling--well, that's another thing.
