Eye insurance

[eats packages]

eye insurance is a scam that pays out billions to luxottica. You can mail-order a pair of glasses for under $30 outside of the monopoly.

Our eye insurance is definitely the worst of the insurance group.

Frames and lenses? That is a new one on me! I, my wife and one of my kids got new glasses in 2017. Not one of them had the lenses covered.

Can anyone confirm this change?

Depends what plan your under

Different everywhere

Haven't used the new, yet, but the wife is always spending about $200, for her glasses.

What costs more out of pocket is the extras like coatings or no lines. And better frames.

Nice if those were included.

Still, by far, the worst of the group.

And arguably the least used.

Which means is should have the most reserves.

Well, insurance nowadays is more like prepayment. They develop plans and premiums based on the demographics and actuary numbers.

It's a valid question. It was cheaper for me to go to the mall and get a pair than what it was using my insurance.

I get a cheap frame under the 125 limit in store that I'll just end up scratching up at work, totally free. Then use the prescription to get a nice pair online for dirt cheap.

Eyewear is a total ripoff.

I am actually in a good spot right now.
My father's insurance covers me until I hit 26. Good vision and dental but a huge medical copay. Teamcare is the opposite. Combine the two and I get literally everything except the chiropractor completely free.

Good job getting some overpriced brand. Try a pair of Maui Jim’s and you’ll see what I’m talking about. And their customer service and 2 year warranty is the best you’ll ever see, google it.

Personal experience, wife broke a pair of Banyan’s, about $250. I called MJ and they said send’m in and we’ll see what we can do. Sent me a new pair, no questions asked.

Don't you wish ups put the customer first like that

Yep, actually picked up some amber Hoko’apa’s for $150 after a $50 discount last week for myself. While I was talking to the salesman at Sunglass Hut about them, decided I’d get my wife a pair also. That’s how you build loyalty and have customers beg to give you money, offer a quality product and take care of them after the sale.

my eye insurance just knocked 450 off the price of prescription designer sunglasses.

Vote yes on contract.

Half of these guys can't even see straight by now.

Not when you look good. For you might as well walk around in pajama bottoms, white shirt and some flip flops.

Any of you guys ever consider the lasik? Not sure when it comes time if I will ever get used to wearing glasses.

I have oakleys i purchased before i started working, 200 for the frames and 475 for the lenses. I'm too scared to ask how much prescription Sunglasses are since my frames allow me to interchange lenses
