Comment Comment by AceJohnny2 Anecdote: I recently had my yearly glasses update. Cost was $188 to me + $20 of insurance copay, so the glasses provider charged $208 for the glasses.That's not too bad, so I asked how much it would be to replace/update the lenses on my old frames, entirely at my charge.It would've been $450. Just for the lenses.I passed. I find it scandalous how much they can charge when just before they were perfectly happy to accept less than half that amount.Instead I got another pair on EyeBuyDirect for $80.It's not just the insurers themselves, but the whole system. Burn it all down. parent AceJohnny2 4 years ago
