My Insurance generally pays for one visit per two years, but I haven't found an optometrist that will give me a 2y prescription despite no changes for 10+ years.
I have found a way to make it 2 years on a 1y prescription.
You can get "myopic glasses" on eBay for real cheap, like 7$, without a prescription. They feel cheap, but the lenses work.
Contact lense websites will let you order as long as you have a valid prescription so I just buy a years worth when I get the prescription and again right before the prescription ends.
Separate issue is the contact lense websites are getting predatory and just add 200$ convenience fee at the checkout. Really annoying, I found one website that doesn't but I imagine if everyone else is doing it they can't stand their ground for long.
- checkyoursudo 3y agoWhat kind of convenience do you get for this seemingly really expensive “convenience fee” they charge?
