Question: Is it true that you don't pay for an eye test if a relative has glaucoma!?
Answers:
You don't pay for the eye test if your mother/father/siblings/children have/has/had it AND you have to be 40 or over!.

So say for example, your mother has it and you're 38 - you won't get it free till you're 40!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
