I plan on applying for Medicaid as soon as I have my license and car switched over to New York. I know in Delaware that I have optical coverage with Medicaid, so I am hoping that it is the same in New York. Whether I have it or not, I am going to need glasses, so I am planning on going with ZenniOptical instead of a store to get them. They have eyeglasses starting from just $8.00. That is frames and lenses for just eight bucks, that is a really good deal.
I put an image of the glasses that I want below. I really like the sophistication of the black frame, I just need to get the prescription for them. I looked at the others, especially the plastic ones, but I have always had much better luck with metal ones, and besides that, I just think they look better in general. I do know that when I have the money I might pick up more than one pair, just so I have a spare when the main pair get scratched or damaged or something like that. I might go next weekend to the optomitrist, I found a coupon for a $20 eye exam, and I think $28 for an exam and glasses is a fine price.
