Abstract: "American things are so cheap!" It seems that people who say this must not buy glasses in the United States. You know after buy glasses here, things in America are not so cheap.
First of all, glasses in the United States must be optometry, or you have an optometry sheet, effective within 2 years. Generally, optometry is free in China's optical shops, but in the United States, optometry and matching are separated. There are optometrists in ophthalmic clinics and large optical industry, and the cost is generally about 40-60 dollars.
After optometry, we have to choose the frame and lens ourselves.The price depends on different glasses stores and brands. Of course, insurance is also very important. Some optician's insurance can cover part of it, which is more cost-effective. However, each optician's insurance is different, so it's still necessary to find out. Because there is no insurance, the price difference will be large.
If you want to choose the cheapest glasses, Costco is basically the first choice.
There are optometrists in every Costco, but this doctor is not a Costco employee. He just signed an agreement with Costco to open the outpatient service in Costco. Optometry technology also varies from store to store. You can also have optometry in other places, just take the doctor's prescription. Costco's glasses are basically brand names, such as Fendi, Armani, Burberry, and coach and guess. The price is basically between 50-150, most of which are about 90. Compared with other glasses stores, it's quite cheap. Costco receives VSP insurance. It can cover part of it, and often has discount. And it's said that a new one can be replaced free of charge if it's damaged within one year (the after-sales service is really good!). Costco can also be fitted with contact lenses. In addition, Walmart and target will also have cheaper glasses.
In addition to Costco, the glasses in many Chinese opticians are not too expensive.
We recommend fuliming glasses Co., Ltd.
Guangming glasses store
In addition, you can also buy glasses on the Internet, and there is muukal, a website that specializes in selling glasses. Of course, you also need an optometry sheet to buy glasses on the Internet.
If you don't have insurance, or you think the glasses here are too expensive, it's recommended to go back to China and find some better ones. The cost performance ratio may not be lower than that here.
