New prescription and glasses

[taxine.livejournal.com]

Well, I ruined my glasses(not just sitting on them this time), and my prescription expired years ago, plus my eyes have changed anyhow.
Catch is, I have no insurance whatsoever. So I need the absolute cheapest place to get my eyes checked and get glasses. I have astigmatism, it that changes anything.
I did check the "eye care" tag but the closest hit was from 2009, and I feel like plenty of places have likely changed in 3 years.
Anything in Davis, Arlington, or Cambridge is ideal.

My other question is, how much can I expect this to be? The last time I got glasses I was a teenager and on my parents' insurance, so I have no idea what a fair price even is...

Thanks in advance!

I got an eye exam, prescription, and new lenses made to fit my existing glasses at Custom Eyes in Central Square. Two years ago, about $350 for the whole thing. I have astigmatism too.

Hmm, that's more than I thought it would be, but I guess it makes sense when you include it all, thanks!
