    Anyone know of a good ->Inexpensive<- place to get bi-focals in the East Metro or Hudson WI area?

    I’ve needed them for a while, now I’m kind forced into getting them.

    Thank you Idoers

    Sam’s Club optical in Woodbury. Even if you’re not a member, the membership fee would be saved back on one visit alone.

    Yes. Unless they changed in the last year.

    Call first to see how busy they are. I don’t think they do appointments, and waits can be long if you happen to hit a busy time.

    OK you get what you pay for. YES you may pay more from the eye doctor, BUT there of better quality and service after the sale is better and more personal IMO!!!!!

    No problem. Here’s hoping you don’t go home with your new glasses only to discover that the trophy catfish you have hanging on the wall is really a trophy bullhead.

    I found Walmart was the cheapest for me, very nice to be able to leave sun glasses on and be able to tie hooks! There regular bifocals are cheaper also..:) Wait until you see what the Eyes and/or Cats really look like LOL

    zennioptical.com Best prices for the same thing that they charge big bucks for. All you need is your script and your PD measurement.

    My Mom just had Cataracts surgery on both eyes. While they were at it, they put a lense in each eye so as she won’t need glasses anymore. Seems to be working great so far. It’s been a couple weeks on one of her eyes. Cost was about $800 an eye. I guess it’s not too cheap, but maybe with insurance?

    I do zennieoptical but it’s hit or miss since you can’t try them on. And there is a restocking fee. But I got 2 pair for under 50$

    Did you sit on them or did they fall in the water? You should get float-rite glasses…

    I’ve had nothing great to say about Pearl Vision in woodbury, usually have buy one get one free, and after the visit and getting glasses, they are always willing to adjust or straighten them back out. I’ve been going there for 9 years now
