This question will be on multiple boards ... Just so nobody thinks I'm trying to pull something
There is a $20 groupon for $200 towards glasses & lenses with a second pair free. The ad is directed at single vision lenses but the will include progressives (what I have). The $200 will likely cover just frames in my world. But ... I would basically have to cover the full cost of lenses (which is still a great deal as the 2nd pair is stil free). However, I don't have extended health coverage, so 100% out of pocket.
Anyone have any idea as to the price of a set of progressive lenses? (I'll do the currency conversion - CDN is crap compared to USD).
Also, I will call the store tomorrow, but I have no patience. I WANNA KNOW NOW!!!!

One thing to watch out for when ordering on line is you need to know a few things beyond your vision w/r to the "20/20" thing, distance between the eyes and the lenses is a huge deal.

My insurance pays for my glasses. I think I was out of pocket $20. Does Canadian insurance not cover eyecare?
Extended health does. The kind you get through your employer. Basic MSP (socialised version) doesn't. If I needed non-elective eye surgery, then yes. Prescription glasses? No.
We bought the frames DD liked online for a fraction of what the eye doctor wanted for them. It was like getting 70% off or more (I can't remember) then we gave the doc the frames and bought the lenses from him. It saved us a bundle. Just a suggestion if you had not thought of it already.

Her frames were $300 at the eye doctor I think but we bought them for around $80 or so. Can't remember exactly. She wanted the designer frames and they were nice !

Last time I tried that they refused to reuse the old lenses. I don't remember why.
I just got progressive lenses & paid $737.40. I have the receipt still.
Yup - this is what I'm looking at with the groupon. Progressive lenses start at $600 and go up from there. The groupon is $20 And is worth $175 towards 1 complete pair (lenses + frame) AND a free complete scone pair (which can be sunglasses for +$40 for the tinting. So ...
$600 (lenses) + $200 (frames?) - $175 = $725 for 2 pair. Which is about $360 each pair. If I can find $725 it might be a good deal.
