GabeLenz Davidlaz ... plus any person requiring glasses/contact lenses must get their prescription from a properly qualified Optician, but can take their prescription to ANY retailer, thus having the option to pay low cost. E.g.: I pay £25/mth for all daily contacts & 2 pairs annual glasses!
GabeLenz Davidlaz About time you guys looked at our model in the UK ... some basics covered by National Health Service ... otherwise can pay for private coverage but Opticians are ‘high street retailers’ for glasses or contact lenses & only genuine medical issues are covered by Opthalmology ...
Davidlaz Lazy article. The reason the council didn't want to comment is probably because the anticipate this as a drive by hit piece.
Davidlaz Why would you write such an article without mentioning companies like zennioptical that sell a top quality product for reasonable prices? ‘No one is doing anything’ is misleading.
Davidlaz Excellent article!
Davidlaz The situation became this bad becaus gwbush wanted to privatize the us military's highly successful, efficient, quality eyeglass making - subsequently cinched up the entire market.
fawfulfan Davidlaz FOR SURE‼️
Davidlaz zennioptical is the best. I have 5 pairs of glasses for matching with what i am wearing (single vision), no frills but I am only out $74 total!!! Great quality, very sturdy :)
fawfulfan Davidlaz Truly a bitch, too. Mine are so bad I can't see the E on the chart and cost is $1000! This is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like I need my eyes or anything...
Davidlaz Always found the cost of glasses ridiculous in this country. Even with a cheap frame, the lenses end up costing an arm & a leg.
tomhoffarth Davidlaz I recently got an eye exam, contacts and glasses at Costco for under $300.
Davidlaz I agree. The damn frames they’re selling, have some materials that are out of this world and not listed in the table of elements. And the lenses provided can make me see through walls. LOL, my ego and vanity cost me so much.
Davidlaz I started my zennioptical account probably a decade ago. My prescription is ridiculous (-9.25 and -7.5,) and I always get the anti-reflective coating and such. I generally pay them under $135, mainly because I see no reason to spend more for name brands.
Davidlaz
bungdan Davidlaz I haven’t paid those kind of prices in years. There are a few places online where you can get decent glasses for much cheaper.
Zlantan Davidlaz I’m snitching and showing this to Gidon NICE lmao
Davidlaz Sunglasses too.
Davidlaz i'll read the article later but the fact that i have to get a prescription for contact lenses that are identical to what i've worn for the past 20 years pretty much sums up my feelings on it... they're f'ing contacts not oxy
Davidlaz Yes we know, and that monopoly is Luxottica
Davidlaz monopoly Obrador1
Davidlaz Nice work Davidlaz
Davidlaz Because it's a monopoly
Davidlaz Fleet Farm sells Levi's one pair $35. Eyemart Express sells custom eyeglasses for $58, two pair. You wear eyeglasses every day for 16 hours. Levi's once a week. Eyeglasses are inexpensive.
Davidlaz Thats big pharma.
Davidlaz Terribly expensive!😑
Davidlaz
Davidlaz Go to Costco.
Davidlaz You mean luxottica scamming everyone?
Davidlaz Glasses are so expensive because prescription that the person has to wear. I wear reading glasses I bought from Walmart because I don’t need distant ones anymore.
Davidlaz And that’s why I go to Mexico 🇲🇽
Davidlaz Hit that WarbyParker
Davidlaz Not to many people making glasses...
