So I went to the optometrist yesterday, and they quoted $275 just to pop out a lens and put in a new one with a slightly stronger prescription. Ridiculous. Luckily we have private health, which covers most of that amount, but yikes

Thatâs insane, my local optometrist would pawbably do that for free. I recently got new lenses for my frames and those were installed for free as far as I recall. Though I did order the lenses through them.
