I visited Wal Mart and spoke to the manager and she used to manage a store elsewhere before coming here. The big difference appears to be that there is no commission paid for WM selling high priced frames and extras that you may or not receive. She indicated that the lenses come from the same place in TX that supplied her old store so there should be no difference in quality. Bottom line is that a pair of glasses could cost 1/2 to 1/3 of what you might be charged at a speciality brick & mortar location. I think I'll give them a try and see how it works.
