Australian, actually! And the problem at the moment is that my eyes are stupidly sensitive so the slightest change in my prescription requirements mean I need new glasses or my migraines get worse. And I have to have six-monthly checkups because I've got a more brittle case of diabetes than most and am prone to eye aneurysms.

$200 doesn't sound like nearly enough for optometrist expenses o_O I'm lucky in that the optometrist I go to bulk-bills so I don't have to pay anything up-front and Medicare takes care of the consultation fees, but paying for the glasses themselves is still expensive because I need a pretty hefty prescription.

I'm not sure what your specific issues are (whether you need something beyond -10 or have a beyond average cylinder or something), but buying glasses online would probably save you a great deal of money in the long run. If you're worried, try buying one super-cheap experiment pair (zennioptical's cheapest frame + lenses deals are around 8 dollars now, I think) and if you're happy with it, that would make keeping up to date on both your prescription and your personal style desires a financial possibility. My insurance covers NOTHING, neither eye-exams nor glasses (apparently, -5 does not "significantly effect my life") so this is pretty much the only way I survive without going absolutely broke.
