I buy from glassesshop, I think the cheapest pair is $50 for frame and lenses. I went all in on the thinnest lenses and transitions, I think it was $150.
Target optical does vision tests for $75 IIRC, and I go there to get a prescription that I give to glassesshop and pick up a cheap pair and a nicer pair. Still not free.99, but much cheaper than other routes without insurance.
Fucking Stanton and Warby Parker advertised $45 for 2 pairs... But you can only actually get that price if you don't actually need lenses. These two (and probably all others advertising similar prices) are just fucking scams.
Costco is pretty good, my glasses were like $105 or $110 and they're perfectly fine for me
When i submitted the invoice for my safety glasses at work -$750- they just blinked
My issue is getting the examination. Let me know how to get that without insurance.
I get mine at the vision center in Walmart every two years for around $110-150 without any insurance which gets me an eye exam, contact lens prescription, glasses prescription, and one trial pair of contacts. I believe they are all third party, optometrist-owned practices that just rent space in the buildings so YMMV.
I wish I could. That was the one thing the insurance actually helped with.
I always just go to America's Best. $80 for an eye exam and two pairs of glasses is hard to beat.
As far as I know, that's not around here. But the eye exam was only $30, so at least the insurance helped there. It would have only been $10, but they said if I gave them an extra $20, they'd do some imaging thing which meant they didn't have to dilate my eyes. Totally worth an extra $20.
Check out Firmoo, I’ve gotten really cheap prescription glasses on there multiple times.
Never heard of them. I'll check them out. Thanks.
I recently went for glasses and eye exam. Near sighted with astigmatism, and now I need bifocals on top of it. Bifocals with line aren’t common now so doctor suggested progressives. I’m fine with that.
I’m also a special kid who can’t wear polycarbonate lenses because I’m hypersensitive to chromatic aberration. So need Trivex lenses as well. Throw in an anti-glare coating and my cost (with insurance) is like $460.
The sad part is given my needs and how few carry Trivex in my area, I consider it a decent deal.
That's insane. I'm really sorry to hear it.
Don’t be. I’m fortunate to be able to afford it comfortably, and it’s just part of the cost of living to me. In my 40s now and been wearing glasses since I was 10yo.
I’m just happy I’ll be able to read fine print and see stuff close again without needing to take off my glasses.
