Irv, did your HSA pay for exam and glasses? Do you know if they generally pay for contacts, too? I have a feeling your company's insurance is similar to mine. I could even pay for the exam, but I need to buy a year's worth of contacts, which is expensive.

Last time I got glasses I went to "America's Best" I got 2 pairs for like $250.00. That was for Micro-thin lenses, which are always more expensive.

Quoth 42_42_42 View PostMake sure you hang on to the Rx, new glasses can be made from it for up to a year after the date on it. Maybe you can get them with your tax refund?"Enough expository banter.

My Rx is good for 1 year only. But we went to JC Penney Optical, to get quotes for glasses there, and because I wanted to ask some questions about the differences I found on Zenni Optical (i.e., the difference between the hi-indexes. We were going with the 1.74 hi-index, and they didn't contain my Rx, but the 1.67 hi-index did...)
I also got my pupil distance measured, since I didn't get that done before, and it's a requirement on Zenni.
JCP gave me a quote of $280 for everything... >.<
Ironically, we had a sighting while we were there, I'll have to write it up later. I gave the info for this site to one of the employees. The woman we saw was that horrendous, I told the employee 'I'm sorry you had to deal with her, here, check this site out..."
