I find glasses online are about half the price of a local place. $500+ locally, about $250 online for the same thing. Progressives drive most of the cost.

If you can get am exam locally for a good price, you're good to go. Just make sure they include the PD - Pupillary Distance, they sometimes don't, though it's part of your prescription and they're required to supply it.

Awesome thank you so much for the information I'll shop around to see if I can get a deal on just the exam locally
