| - We went in during May for an eye test and an update to a reading glasses prescription. We have eye care insurance, which paid some. First, the eye exam costs, $170 were certainly on the pricey side. That is JUST for the eye exam. This is typically a $60 - $70 charge. On the glasses, a pair of single vision plastic reading glasses came to $230 and not this is WITHOUT frames. Of this cost $90 was charged for "anti-reflective coating" which we not only never asked for, but were not only asked if we wanted. Since these are just reading glasses, I'm not sure where all the reflections would have come from since that hasn't been a problem with even $10 over-the-counter reading glasses you purchase.
UPDATE: We asked them to remake the glasses without the anti-reflective coating (which we were never asked about), and they agreed, which knocked $90 off the bill, so I added two stars.
UPDATE2: We got everything resolved with the ophthalmologist, who was very understanding, but the communications from their front staff is lacking.
