I went for an exam/checkup the other day, and I've got a couple questions:
1. It was $120, blue cross covered $40. Is that an indication I'm getting ripped off?
2. My prescription changed slightly. Not enough to warrant different contacts, but enough that one lens in my glasses could be doing a better job. Is it bad for my eyes to wait on getting that fixed?
3. They quoted me $240 for regular lenses with AR and $280 for digital lenses, which they described as "HD". Besides being incredibly insulting to anyone who knows anything about televisions or optics, I found it a super cheesy/slimy sales pitch... but I digress. Are those prices reasonable? Is there any point going with "digital" lenses? The old method seemed to work just fine for all my other pairs of glasses.... I forgot to add I was also given the business about "your glasses are 4 years old, they could break. With NEW glasses we guarantee them... blah blah... I wanted to tell her to get her fat fist out of my wallet so bad... My eye doctor is a really nice guy, but man the rest of that operation makes me cringe now. Just like my dentists office. Super $$$ grubbing.
