A prescription that changed at the last exam, a pair that broke, a first exam, an eye procedure you have been quoted for. When you need to see to work or read, you can put that quote in front of friends and family privately.
Free to create and free to send.
A changed prescription, a broken pair, a first exam or an eye procedure: each comes with a figure from the optical shop or the practice.
Ask for an itemized quote, with the exam, the frames and the lenses on separate lines. It makes the number easy to follow for everyone you ask.
Sam's prescription changed at his last exam, and his old glasses no longer work for reading or screens. His work is all screen-based, and by his account he has been getting through the day with headaches.
His request covers the exam and glasses with progressive lenses, with the optical shop's quote attached. It went to his brother, his parents and a friend from work.
The same request covers a first exam, replacement lenses or an eye procedure with an estimate. A larger operation may fit better with surgery.
Only people with the link can open it, and you choose who receives it, by text or email.
| What you keep | The entire amount of every contribution. |
| When it arrives | Once your bank is connected, each contribution reaches it in 2-3 business days. |
| How you send it | By text or email, to the people you choose, with photos and a video if you want them to see the situation rather than just read about it. You decide who to send it to. It's never listed on A Better Gift, and it stays out of search results unless you choose to share it publicly. |
"My mother's prescription changed at her last exam and her old glasses no longer work for reading." You can raise it for her with her name showing on the request. Whoever creates it is paid, so it is yours to set up if the bill is yours, or help her start her own.
Nothing to create a request. Nothing to send it. And nothing comes out of what people give you: you receive the entire amount.
