    I am very very very excited about the ability to get glasses and possibility of being measured for contacts later on if that department does get finalized. I have been talking for 24 hours about how much pressure it took off of me financially to have access to glasses through you all. Thank you for thinking of us like that! Also, I would love to see glasses recycling in the future if at all possible. I never know what to do with my old ones when I can't get the lenses swapped.
