Strategy #2
|
Get A Discount Vision Plan
Just like medical and dental insurance, the biggest benefit from having vision insurance is the pre-negotiated discount that comes from seeing in-network optometrists. So, why not just buy into the network? Typical costs are an extra $30 per year that should result in at least a $100+ savings on the exam, lenses, and frames.

Strategy #3

Buy Glasses Online
Take your prescription from a local optometrist - which they have to give you by law - and buy your glasses or contacts online. This will save you money! Many vendors have free shipping on qualified orders.
