DH's new glasses

December 20th, 2009 at 05:28 pm

DH needed new reading glasses. We originally had an appointment at Wal Mart vision center, but they screwed up the date. So, I cancelled it and made another appointment with an eye doc at the shopping mall.

It was a very fancy eye wear store, and has the latest exam equipments. I found this place from DH's vision insurance website (VSP). I was surprised how great the coverage is.

Co-pay for exam is $10, and co-pay for lenses is also $10. We upgraded the quality of lenses, so our co-pay was $25. Still a great deal. DH has a frame that he loves and insisted he wants to use it, so we didn't buy new frame. Frame is covered up to $130. We ended up paying total $35 for his new glasses : ) (It would be close to $400 without insurance.)

Actually, I don't mind paying more because I still have some money I need to use in my FSA account. Oh well...

We also got 30% discount on sunglasses he wanted. I told him I will buy them as a Christmas gift. The original price was $180 but with 30% off, it was $126.

Unfortunately, my employer dropped VSP and changed to United Health or something for vision. DH and I cover each other for dental (we have double coverage) but not vision. I should have DH's vision insurance cover me and DD next year so we can use this store as well.

    Can you tell me the store? Big Grin
    VSP is the ONLY insurance I get from my employer. Even so, I haven't had an eye exam or gotten new glasses in 5 or 6 years... The coverage is decent and I know I just need to stop procrastinating. (I didn't like the eye doctor I saw last time - which I guess is part of the problem. I keep meaning to check if my HMO takes VSP). But yeah, tell me the place you ended up at - I should check it out.

    Monkeymama,
    The name of store is "Eye Designs" at Roseville Galleria. It's across from "Picture people", so you won't miss it. Check it out!
