Get the eye exam, but don't buy their frames/lenses. Remember to get your prescription information, they're legally required to give it to you.

Next, get online and buy yourself some cheap but high quality glasses. I've been doing it for years now and I've saved A LOT of money. I mean I buy glasses for as low as 15-20$, compared to walmart nearly 100$. That's already an 80 bucks different.

If you're new to online eyeglasses, I'd suggest this site to begin with:

http://www.optical4less.com/

They're very reputable and easy for new consumers. Their glasses are also one of the cheapest online and shipping is pretty fast too. If you have any questions ask again or ask their customer support. They're also quite friendly. Good luck to you and don't let big corporations scam you for a necessity such as glasses!



I think you can do the eye exam there just fine, but you'll still save money if you buy your lenses online. And your eyeglasses too.

When I buy my prescription lenses, I always go online to www.replacementlensexpress.com. Their website is straight forward and when it's not, I just e-mail their optician directly (info@replacementlensexpress.com) and he answers all my questions pretty much the same day.

I got Transitions lenses through them for just $66, which includes a prescription, and added Anti-Glare coating for $35. What I do is, because I already have the frames I like, whenever my prescription changes, I send in my frames and they just put in the new lenses. Easy, peasy, and they are just based in Connecticut, so it's a really quick turn around time and quality is high, unlike other online companies (or even Walmart) who outsource overseas.

But it sounds like you want frames too. Their frame selection isn't super large online, but I know that if you e-mail them the exact make and model number of the frame you want, they'll get it for you and for a wholesale price. So just shoot them a descriptive e-mail of exactly what you want, and I think you'll be very happy.

I was just there, and I just looked at it but I forgot! Sorry! But I can tell you, since it's Wal-mart, it wont be the best of quality care :/

EDIT: I did a little research for ya, to make your life easyer :)

http://hubpages.com/hub/Walmart-Eye-Exam <--- Infomation about it, and tells you how much it costs.

And this is what another person said on YA, "for my glasses, it cost $69 for an eye exam"

I tryed going on the Wal-mart page, but I got spammed like 100 times lol. Dont even try D:
