View submission: Are opticians just glorified salesman's now?
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.

Depends what’s causing the ‘legal blindness’ (which is in itself not the term used) - you can be registered sight impaired due to visual field restrictions, but the remaining vision could be benefit from refractive correction.
