Call the uft welfare fund... they'll send you a voucher & a booklet with the eye centers that accept the plan. Then just make your apt & go. I FINALLY went in the fall after years of procrastinating lol.

the exam costs NOTHING and the last time i used it when i worked in NYC, about 4 years ago, they covered $150.00 worth of contacts or glasses. i would use it towards glasses and then do your contacts somewhere cheap like 1-800-contacts or Costco.
