This year at 62 she qualified for them. I know you are too young for that type of assistance, but is there no group that would fit you free for glasses?<br /><br />As a former director of Helping Hands, I often referred people to a local group through the Baptist church for free glasses called Buckner Foundation. You might also try the Lions Club.<br /><br /><br />Have you heard of infoline 211. There should be one in your area. It is a service provided by the United Way and it is free to anyone in need. May you find glasses through this organization.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19255072.post-88159710398756854422010-03-13T14:28:23.823-05:002010-03-13T14:28:23.823-05:00When you get in your later 60's, 70's and ...When you get in your later 60's, 70's and if lucky 80's; the things you did will drastically effect your vision and cause serious problems. Best to consult a physician because a bad choice based purely on economics can result in disaster.
