America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

Ok, let’s get this straight right off the bat. The free exam and 2 pairs of glasses for 69.99 is true, however, you can expect to pay much more.
Upon walking in, the place is clean, well run, the staff is courteous and polite. Online appointments were easy to make. I thought the screening and the exam were good. I give the staff an A in that regard.
Upon leaving the exam I needed a new pair of glasses. So I went to pick out 2 pairs of glasses. I was asked if I needed help, I didnt. I picked my frames out, and went over to pay the bill. The exam was free, the frames were actually buy one, get one half off. Where you pay the extra is the contact lenses and the lenses for the eyeglasses. I picked the cheapest lenses, and a 6 month supply of contacts. My total bill was about $ 375. I did add an extra $ 15 for a specific eye test.
They did add a $ 100 to become a 3 yr member, I go when I have to so that was an unneeded expense. So take the $ 115 off the 375 and I was at $ 260 for the exam, 2 pairs of glasses, and a 6 month supply of contacts. That isn’t too bad. The moral of the story. .don’t walk in thinking you are going to pay $ 69.99 for 2 pairs of glasses and walk out. I also would have liked a little better explanation of the bill before I paid it. I most likely would have not bought the 3 yr plan and I’m not even sure what I even get with it.
Overall a positive experience.

The eye exam was a pleasant experience and the doctor was thorough. The super good deal of two pair for 69 bucks quickly turned into a lousy deal for over $ 140. Might not have been so bad if it weren’t so blatantly misleading.
