My wife went in for a new prescription. With our insurance she paid $10 for the exam and $25 for the lens and frame. She chose an anti-glare covering for which they charged $25. Our total was given of just over $97. When asked about the discrepancy the receptionist told us it was taxes on the lens and frame. ($27+ dollars in taxes?!?)
If you need a new set of glasses, I suggest going somewhere that the business model seems a little less shady.
