If you are looking to save money, Zenni.com is way cheaper than Sam's and Costco, and they have a much better selection. I can usually buy 4 or 5 pairs of prescription eyeglasses for the cost of one pair in any store.

Also, ophthalmologists usually do not examine eyes for an eyeglass prescription. It is done by a non-doctor technician in their office. I go to an ophthalmologist annually for a medical appointment, but I use an optometrist for an eyeglass prescription. The optometrist at Peepers in Colony Plaza, Dr. Collins, is very reasonable, and he will write a prescription for two years instead of the usual one year.
