Cheapest Toronto (prefer dt) eye exams?

[iridescent]

$75-83 for an eye exam?! What a ripoff. It used to be covered under OHIP! Perhaps I should lie and say I have diabetes... no, that's unethical.

Where can I get this cheaper? $25-50 preferably. Thanks

75-80 is about the average, there is no such thing as 25 exams, even if they do exist... i dont trust the people performing it.

the best "deal" u can do with eye exams is if the optometrist subsidize that money into your cost of a pair of glasses/contacts should you decided to buy from them.

No, the 'best' deal is have your employer insurance cover the eye exam 100%, buy your "prescription" eyeglasses online or any cross border outlet malls.

And claim 80-100% up to the max for the eyeglasses under your insurance.

[MizTEcK]

self-employed, no deal on that

I can give you an eye exam for $50. I'm not a professional or anything, but really, how hard can it be?

Otherwise, your best bet is to fork up whatever cash your optometrist is asking for.

Excuse me? Rip off? How much do you pay for a "teeth cleaning" at your dentist? $120? Are your teeth or eyes more important?

You're a ****** if you think you can say you have diabetes. The family doctor and optometrist are the ones who decide if you have diabetes. You can't self-diagnosis diabetes. What the hell? Never heard of that before.

$25-$50. Good luck. Maybe you can go find an optical who will do it with the auto-refractor (automatic, they just press a button) which will over-minus you. Also they can't write you a prescription, so how will you get a new pair of glasses? Your insurance company isn't gonna pay you back if you don't have a script.

You do know an eye exam isn't just about getting a new pair of glasses.

I guess that's what its come down to now a days, people rather spend money on teeth, clothes, food instead of their eyes which they get checked rarely every year, surprisingly if at least 2 years.

That's very funny. I'm sure it's easier than what you do for a living

Oh, I've had many patients who I ask what they do for a living, and the funniest so far is, "I collect unemployment insurance."

Yes, if you're 19 or younger, or 65 or older.

[M-e-X-x]

$60, but they're in markham... and they're not a shady bunch either!

[aquariaguy]

Yes, if you're 19 or younger, or 65 or older.

And if you have a systemic disease...glaucoma, diabetes, etc...

I have seen some opticians inside Walmart..probably they are cheap. Not sure if they are good enough though

The costs of eye exams can be thanked to that prick Mcguinty. I wish Ontarians would wake up and realize how much this SOB has screwed us in every way and every opening.

[shannn]

Some places will give you free eye exams, but you have to purchase your glasses/contact lenses right after at the connected store the optometrist is attached to

I like McGuinty. Even if you don't think he's the best, there really were not any other legitimate choices in the last campaign. I'll pay 90 bucks every few years rather than have huge sums of money being put into funding schools for every possible religion.
