Look for major optical chains or local health clinics. Some even do home tests now—yes, they mail you a gadget. You puff your own eye. Wild.
If you have insurance, check if glaucoma screenings are covered. Many are, especially for over-40s. But even without insurance, free tests exist. Don’t let money be the reason you go blind. That’s just sad.
The “I Don’t Have Time” Excuse
I hear you. You’re busy. Work, kids, laundry, pretending to enjoy kale. But losing your vision will take up way more time.

You’ve got ten minutes. Use them. Your eyeballs aren’t getting any younger.
