When I buy glasses from an optometrist, they nickel and dime me to death. It's an extra $30 for having astigmatism, an extra $35 for a strong prescription, an extra $50 for high-index lenses, an extra $50 for A/R coating, an extra $80 for photochromic lenses, an extra $30 for anti-scratch coating, and the list goes on and on.
So, I would always settle for regular low-index heavy Coke bottle lenses without any fancy extras to avoid paying like $300 for a pair of glasses that will probably just get scratched or lost eventually anyway. I always assumed things like A/R coating were just gimmicks anyway because they were too expensive for me to have ever tried.
Then I ordered online, and my eyes were opened. Since A/R coating was only like $5 extra, I actually decided to get it. And, wow, what a difference it made. I was amazed and also saddened by how I had been putting up with glare because of overpriced options from optometrists. I'll never buy another pair of glasses without A/R coating.
Online, I was able to order well-made glasses with thin and light high-index photochromic lenses, with A/R, anti-scratch, and oleophobic coatings for under $75! I love these glasses, and I'll never buy glasses from an optometrist again.
Heck, with online prices, I can justify buying several pairs of glasses. I now have a spare pair I keep in my car, and I even bought a pair of prescription safety glasses. These are luxuries I never had before ordering glasses online was a thing.
I get the feeling that the $50 eye exam is a loss-leader for optometrists, and their real bread and butter is selling overpriced glasses. I expect they will start (if they haven't already) charging people more for exams who don't buy glasses from them.
With that said, I know some people aren't happy with their online glasses. I have a family member who tried ordering glasses online several times and was never satisfied. So ordering glasses online isn't for everyone, but I sure am glad I can order them online.
