Default I've Purchased From The Opthmalogist Or Optometrist For Years, But...

...next time around I'm going to try some place like WalMart. If one's Rx is fairly simple, you have to ask yourself, "how bad can they screw up?" And even if they do, their satisfaction guarantee is hard to beat. Their prices, of course, are rock bottom for products of comparable quality.

On a similar subject, I have a friend who purchased his hearing aids at WalMart after having an analysis done by their in-house audiologist. He's been happy as a clam with the service and the hearing aids and tells me that he saved over 50%--several thousand dollars--over what exactly the same thing cost at an independent audiologist near him.
