Glad to hear a positive story about Wal*Mart. Betcha those glasses wont take as long as predicted.
I'd go there, but my mom works for Henry Ford Optimeyes and I get a better discount there.

Yet again I am fortunate to have my Chippewa Heritage... Our Tribe will order us glasses at a huge discount, But I get my exams done at "Shopko" which is sort of like a wal-mart type store ( I've went there for exams since I was a kid ) I just ordered glasses for Ryan and I both -Him just a basic pair with some funky black frames and me a cute frame, thin lenses and transitions and the total for both was just under $200.00 It's nice because my glasses have always run super expensive around $300.00 and the only "extra" I would get is thinner leses because like you I would have coke bottles otherwise - I have the WORST eyes ever !!! The only drawback with getting them through the tribe is that there aren't the vast number of frames to choose from -I usually can find something I like since I am not too picky ... Post a pic of your new sexxay specs.

I have good insurance(BCBS) but it only covers $35 of my exam. My DH has BCBS, too, and it doesn't cover anything for vision.

I've been going to the same guy for 27 yrs. (I started out with his dad when I was 8 and eventually the son took over.) People call me crazy but I will drive from where ever I am at to go to this guy. He knows me, knows my eyes and my eyes' history. I just went last friday and for exam and tinted soft contacts I walked out of there for $167, and that's the most I've ever owed them.

BTW, 7-10 days is what it always takes my contacts to come in, sometimes a little less.

Maybe it would be cheaper just to get a new pair of eyes? Ha.

    I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****)
