For some more comparisons, the UK has free eye-tests for certain groups (children and at-risk) [1], but it costs around £20-25 (~$28-$35 at current exchange rate).

Additionally for the UK, if you do work using a computer (which I imagine most people on HN do), your employer is legally required to pay for an eye test if you request it.

Wow, this is super helpful in that it gives me extra context outside of what I'm used to. Also just good to know what else is out there :) Thank you so much!!!
