minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoWell, my last opthalmologist (before COVID lockdown and Walmart as the only fallback) gave me the best prescription I ever had, but it’s now outdated. I’d like to go back to my old opthalmologist, but he’s now quoting me over $300 for a new prescription and pair of glasses…
minus-squarehuginn@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoSee if he’ll do the Rx for $75ish Glasses are the high margin item here.
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoI prefer the quality of glasses he offers though, they don’t scratch up like Walmart shit. My last prescription would do me just fine, if only I could get them new in a new set of frames.
minus-squarehuginn@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThat $300 he’s quoting you is mostly the price of the glasses my man
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoMy first prescription glasses were $40 plus tax, for the exam and two sets of frames and lenses. I get the inflation thing and all, but when did they decide to start fucking nearsighted people right in the wallet?
