Walmart wanted to charge me $180-240 just to replace lenses in my frames. Even without a brand name it's still expensive!

- jandrese 8y agoThere are a lot of upcharge possibilites on lenses. High Refractivity, UV block, Anti-scratch, Anti-glare, Auto-tinting, etc... It gets expensive in a hurry if you say yes. No-frills plastic can be ground out cheap but nobody wants to sell a low margin product like that.
- lmpostor 8y agoBecause you're lenses are coming from the same place. Depending on the contract year, your lenses are probably coming from Essilor, which at that point you should be probably be going to a private practice and getting better customer service and deals (in terms of warranties, and actually getting the most from the manufacturer). Though that really only extends to a two year period, if it is longer than than, it is pretty much considered a completely new order. Disclosure, I work for Essilor.
