Default Re: Glasses
So is there no optical coverage in the NZ health plan? The exam price sounded reasonable, but the glasses price was pain-giving.

Be sure to emphasize to your daughter that her glasses are fragile, and need to be treated gently. If she has plastic lenses, she'll need to be even more careful. Fortunately my first pair (when I was 12) were sturdy, and helped teach me how to take care of them. I swore off plastic lenses after one pair, because I can't keep from cleaning them with my shirttails.
