Where can I find assistance for eyeglasses in Rhode Island?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was laid off from a "new" job on the 90th day. I have benefits until the end of the month. I can barely afford an eye exam with these benefits but without work I know I cannot afford the eyeglasses I need. I have been without proper eyeglasses for over a year. Before this last setback I was out of work for a year. I am worried it will take a long time again to find work, but this time I need eyeglasses to be able to see properly and to present myself in future interviews for new employment. I need progressive lenses and they also need to be polarized lenses.Can anyone help me find assistance for a pair of eyeglasses?
