Where can I get an eye exam for cheap? (need contact lenses)

I got an eye exam and 2 pairs of glasses from Meijers for $99. Think that includes contacts too. If you've got one by you that has an eye center in it, check them out.
 
Call around...I got mine for around $90 at a probably privately owned business. I've never gone to any place like Walmart or America's Best for my eyes, and I never will.
But of course the contacts are a diff. issue, once you have your perscription and know what you need you can get em pretty much anywhere you want.
 
actually i just want to get a free trial pair of contacts for now. but to get the free trial pair from walmart they require an eye exam which is $100. unfortunately i don't have a Meijer's near me. :whistle2:(
 
Stein Optical I thought had it cheap, though I don't know if there chain is nationwide. I used to go there, but now I prefer a privately owned place, their not badly priced at all, and it's WAY better than any chain stores.

I had problems with my contacts because they kept ripping, so I asked my doctor what I was doing wrong why they where ripping, and he told me why, and he even replaced all the one's that ripped when I didn't even ask, and my contacts are not cheap. You get a lot better service with a privately owned place, and it's worth it.
 
Lenscrafters and other places usually offer free exams. Check into that. I'm a little foggy though, cause last time I was looking for glasses I was in canada and looked at places in the u.s. and in canada, so I'm not certain where I kept seeing all the "free eye exam" signs.
 
You should have your eyes checked at least every 3 years. After that long, you don't even realize how blurry everything is until you get a new prescription. I won't be going back to Wal-mart...I think they only charged $60 at the time, but the contacts they kept prescribing me wouldn't fit well, and the exam guy seemed in a bit of a rush compared to my old-school eye doctors in a private office.
 
call around every local eye doctor. I got my contact lense eye exam for 49 somthing, and the contacts themselves are around 40 because i have a stigmatism which sucks.
 
do you have insurance? or do your parents have insurance? you could always get it cheaper with insurance.
