How crap is crap enough? I'm -6.25 and -6.00 in my eyes and due another test, but this will be my first one without 'under 19 and in education' as I'll be 20 in uni. I didn't know there was any vouchers - is it fully legally blind level?

Splitting hairs here, those who are ‘fully legally blind’ wouldn’t benefit from glasses.

Looks like you creep into ‘B’ for voucher entitlement, which just under £65, so well worth checking out if you qualify. Entitlement isn’t automatic, there are qualifying criteria.

-17 and -15.5 sight here, I don’t qualify for anything other than ‘complex lenses’ which is £15.
