I have vision coverage - which place should I go to for an eye exam?
The choice is between Pearle and Lens Crafters. but LC's seems to be so expensive compared to Pearle!
DH paid almost $200 less at Pearle than at LC's... for the same exam + glasses & contacts.
I am covered for an eye exam + 1 pair of glasses up to $125.
both locations are very close to me.
does anyone have any feedback?
eta: DH's experiences were from before we had vision coverage.

This probably doesn't help, but I go to Davis--are they an option for you?

If you go to Pearl and are a AAA member, there is a 30% discount. Just thought I'd mention it.

Does your health insurance allow you to go to an opthamalogist for your eye exams? I much prefer to go to an MD for my eye exams...

Personally, I'd go with one of them.

If Dr. Craing in Lindenhurst (Lindy Eye Care) is on the list I highly recommend him. I have never had such good care, nor DH, since we have both been wearing glasses. He is fantastic & very thorough.
