Go to the optician and get checked out. I wear bifocals for normal driving and walking around, and reading glasses (between the two prescriptions) for computer work. It's normally not an extra charge to get three prescriptions (two for bifocals, one for computer glasses).

Then you can buy a pair of glasses there, or you can go online and get them a lot cheaper. I do both.

Finally, in my opinion, insurance that covers glasses is a total waste of money. You can only use it at overpriced outlets. It's cheaper to go to a place like Sears Optical with no insurance, than to buy a pair of glasses that are "covered" by your insurance. And that's not even counting the premium.
