This often happens in New Age lifestyles, becoming so common one would think the new age has already left a mark on the mainstream! At one time before the New Age lifestyle silently, without any fanfare, changed western society, the outcome of interaction was: someone wins and the other loses.
According to vision insurance provider Vision Service Plan Direct, the national average price as of June 2015 of a comprehensive eye exam without insurance is $154. The latter does not include frames, prescription lenses or optical lens enhancements.
When you compare the cost of vision insurance with the cost of paying out of pocket, you start to see significant savings. For example, the average eye exam costs around $152 without insurance, and eyeglasses will cost you easily over $200, depending on the frames and lenses. With your first eye exam and pair of glasses, youâre already saving hundreds of dollars if you have vision insurance.
