Felt violated almost for just plain Jane glasses.. 2016

I felt like i was buying a used car without the benefit of any previous experience.The year is 2016

up $200 over last time i bought!

My 76 year old mother was charged $1,800 by a local optician for her glasses. Unless they were gold with a few diamonds thrown in (which they weren't) I can't see how that amount is justified. She doesn't have significant eyesight issues.

I had my eyes examined here and also purchased a pair of glasses here.
I kept asking the sales clerk about the cost of different items (ie the frames, the anti-glare) and she never gave me a straight answer. It was like talking to a used car salesperson.
Side note: Discovered I cannot use the polycarbonate lens. I had to have Trivex lens, so, that was about $50 more than the polycarbonate lens, no complaints about being able to see!
Can anyone in Virginia Beach, suggest where I can I find glasses cheaper than $606?

Decided to purchase my eyeglasses from this online store. Took 3 wks. to get my order. Glasses are just as good as ones I would get at the eye Dr. just costs me WAYYYYY less!!!

I've not ever had the benefit of terrible eyes. Now at age 48 the quote I got was OUTRAGEOUS. I bought readers....I've been blessed with wonderful eyesight until now. Save your money and buy some quality readers, I've since gone on line and bought readers of a variety of color choices and styles for approx. 12 each. 580.00 with bells and whistles, no thanks, my grandchildren like to investigate my purse and I prefer to put my money toward other things. I wonder how dentists and Optometrists stay in business with these costs?

Age 78 post cataract extraction with intraocular lens implant resulting in 20/20 distant vision but need for magnification for computer use (top lens) and for reading (bottom lens). Chose frames (can see frames on your face) and sent professional prescription for lenses via internet. Total cost approximately $80 plus small shipping charge but was able to get 20% discount coupon. Very satisfied.

These are trifocal lenses with no lines. I have strong prescription and lenses are ultra light.

Purshased May 29, 2012. Both 4 glasses for $99 each. Trifocal no lines, Progressive, Ultra Lite, 2 are prescription sun glasses for the same cost progressive premium trifocals. Same prescription. Save $314 per glasses. Saved $1,159.88 all together. Prescription Sun Glasses or Polaridized. Plus got $5 discount per pair for AARP membership.
These glasses have every thing on them.
Coating E-Z Premium Clear MF. Cheapest price I could find any where so I bougth 4 pairs of glasses.

I had my eyes examined by my doctor, then took her RX to the Eyeglass Factory. The cost was $170.00 cheaper then Lenscrafter! I broke the frame five months later and they replaced the frame free of charge, because it was still under warranty! I've had no problems with their workmanship. Lens were
as prescribed.
