As a severely disabled vet I have always considered the VA a terrorist organization. They treat vets like shit and their philosophy is delay, delay the vet will eventually die and then we will not have to deal with them. Like most government agencies they believe their privileged positions are not to serve those they were created for but to further their own agenda and fat pay check. We need massive anti- federalism on a scale never seen. They are criminals.
My brother died from Gulf War Syndrome after serving in Desert Storm. He had a blood clot in his leg that eventually killed him. An eight week wait to be seen by a doctor at the VA in Columbus, OH. The VA is 95% worthless.
Yep. Friend got out of the army but needed new glasses and decided it was better to wear the old ones like morpheus' nose bridge clip glasses for months instead because it's almost not worth the time and energy to go through the VA.
If your in your early 60's you likely have early cataract formation. If so you can have your eye lenses (cataracts) replaced with multifocal lenses. I did it 4 years ago, and will never ever need glasses again for both close, distance and anywhere in between. Best money I ever spent, and no more expensive glasses every year, and I can buy the sunglasses I like (non prescription).
Do you live in the states? You should look into Warby Parker- I get single vision glasses for $99.00- I think bifocals might be $50 more, but that includes frames and lenses. They also give a pair away to the needy- like Tom’s shoes or Bombas socks. I got my vision checked there too got $99 and this is all out of pocket, I didn’t use my insurance.
Yeah we usually go with wal mart for eye test to get the prescription then ordering online. My sister has 3 kids that needed them at some point. That shit adds up if you're going to brick and mortar places that have those prices you mentioned.
You are absolutely correct, “Delay.”
They wait way too long for treatment of vets. The longer you delay the more difficult it is to treat! I hear this from my wife, ALOT!

I hate glasses, granted I need them..
vision insurance is such a scam its not worth having.
cost at work is $500 a year covers exam and free frames. lenses cost 300+
out of pocket $100 exam 3 pairs of glasses online $200
I don't blame him on the morpheous glasses, I waited 3 years between exams and only went cause I couldn't wear mine anymore

Find an America's best. They often have an eye exam and 2 pairs of.glasses starting at 70 bucks. Unbelievably cheap.
