Eyeglasses are pretty common and can be dirt cheap, and testing requires only a ruler and a piece of paper with letters on it. One just needs to accept glass lenses and a chinesium frame, as all good manufacturers are bought out by Luxottica.
What are you referring to when saying that they're not universally available? Or are we including the people who don't even have access to water in this?
- Ekaros 3y agoLooking at otherwise expensive country Finland. We can get 2 pairs of regular glasses for 29€ including eye check... Ofc, that is absolutely nothing fancy. It is surprisingly cheap when free market works. That should be in range of what nearly everyone can save up here.
- literalAardvark 3y agoYep, that's why I asked. Most of the developed and developing world can afford them. And i think 29 eur is actually quite pricy, if you want cheaper stuff you can probably go down to like... 4 euro?
- Ekaros 3y agoI think there is cheaper online options, but 29€ for prescription glasses made to order isn't bad price. With customer service and them fitting them for you. Standard reading glasses for example will be much cheaper again.
