My elementary school (PA, America) ran eye and ear
exams every year. I don't know how popular that is,
but otherwise a teacher would notice if a student
continually squinted to see the board. Hence, school
says to get him tested and get him glasses. If they
were to have refused, they could have been cited for
child neglect. They would have lost Dudley then to. 

Me.

In the UK childrens glasses are free up to I beliece the age of 16yrs. you do not have a great choice of frames, but those like Harry's were free. Possibly now they are the hight of fashion and cost the earth, I realy dont know.

Hope this helps.
