Re: Can someone explain.......

[(Anonymous)]

U.S.? Because insurance companies suck and want to cover as little as possible, unfortunately.

If you know someone with a Costco membership, see if you can go through them. You can get a walk-in eye exam and their glasses are very reasonably priced. I'm pretty sure they'll also give you your eye prescription if you want to try shopping online for frames. I've heard good things about Zenni Optical: http://www.www.zennioptical.com/‎

Seconding Costco.

Re: Can someone explain.......

UK Costco would work out more expensive for me, tbh, and they'd not meet my requirements. When I asked last time I needed new glasses, the ladies working there said they don't honour NHS optical vouchers, nor do they do the usually-optional extras that I need; photoreactive lens coating to protect my eyes and double lens thinning just to fit the lenses in a frame.

So I guess that Costco might be good if you just needed bogstandard glasses, but if you need anything "complicated", then you're fucked.

What about Specsavers? That is what I use, because they are cheapest but I am in Norway and the prices may differ?

Re: Can someone explain.......

[ansela_jonla]

Specsavers is where I've gone for years. Their deal where you get free photoreactive lenses if you buy glasses costing £65 or more is wonderful for me. And they take the NHS voucher. But, unfortunately, lens thinning is expensive and drives the price back up.

Re: Can someone explain.......

[making_excuses]

I started when I turned 18 and have never looked back! I am lucky in the sense that I don't have to get the lens thinner anymore, so the price isn't too bad.

I love the 2 for 1 deal, especially when they have it for sun glasses* which means for the first time in my life I can walk in the sun without issues!

*I can't be arsed to look up the correct translation, you get what I mean?

Re: Can someone explain.......

[ansela_jonla]

I used to have that deal as well, but here in the UK there's not much call for sunglasses, so I wouldn't get them. The lens-thinning is too expensive though now, and I can't afford to pay for the photoreactive coating, so no more 2-for-1 for ansela.

Re: Can someone explain.......

Okay, so I haven't had my glasses updated in around half a decade, which was fine up until a couple months ago. And I have a Costco membership, but also insurance.

What is the pricing like at Costco for a basic pair of prescription glasses? Or contacts? And do they accept insurance?

/will have to spend a fortune on dental, soon, so trying to save on vision

Re: Can someone explain.......

[diet_poison]

According to my mom, who used to have me go there when she had a membership, she doesn't think they take insurance (but she's not sure) and they're a little more pricey than Wal-Mart but still on the low end of things.

I thought they were really cheap honestly. Now I'm not sure it's really such a great option. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :/

[nyxelestia]

This is still good to know. Thank you. :)
