I've been going to America's Best for a couple of decades. Last glasses I bought were 2 complete pairs, franes and lenses, for $69 complete. Can't beat less than$35 a pair! And they have a great selection.

I watched a documentary once that showed that a lot of frames out there are all made by the same company. The exact same frames can be sold for $35 one place and $300 at another. There's no reason to pay more.

I decided to give Walmart a try for my last pair and I was very pleasantly surprised at the wide selection of frames, all the features I needed or wanted were available (progressive lenses, coatings, UV, etc) at a very reasonable price and insurance accepted. I saved hundreds.

I didn’t get the exam there though.

Hahahaha! Well I've been going to America's Best since the early 90s. They've always been great!

I've yet to find an online company that can beat the price of Costco or Sams on progressive lenses with all the coatings.

Wish one could find discounted Maui Jim's prescription lenses...
