    You can get a full eye exam at Walmart for around $55.

    The article states that the online exam of $40 would be half of what it would be not online. So..that's not true.


    The online exam is just a refraction only. Refractions can come close to your actual prescription. Nine times out of ten a refraction number will be different that your actual prescription because a doctor tweaks it based on your answers during the exam.

    Refractions can be WAY off if the patient is over focusing while doing the test.

    So, you can still get a full inexpensive eye exam at a Walmart AND inexpensive glasses. And who doesn't have a Walmart near them? LOL....not many.
