oh i did check my eyes before making the new glasses, it's just that the old ones were so dirty(scratches) that my eyes kinda got used to that, and it was kind of weird when i put them on at first, i already got used to them now though
My job gives me new ones every year, so I have more than I need. I did have a pair for a long time and I realized it was pointless to not use all those good ones.
i'm a freelancer so i don't get that,(it's once every 4 years here i think if you're ensured) but we have free healthcare so at least i didn't have to pay for the visit to the doctor
