    Contact the local Lions Club. They often provide free eyeglasses. Where I live, I know that the person is responsible for the cost of the eye exam, but the glasses are free. I don't know if the rules are the same everywhere or not. My eye doctor works with the Lions Club, and everyone in it is very nice and helpful to people. He often sees people who are getting the free glasses at his clinic. If the client is a veteran, is there a veteran's hospital nearby? You might also look into health clinics for the uninsured. At the very least, they might be able to recommend some local charities. I hope this helps!
