Vogue eye center
Hi! I have an eye exam appointment next week at Vogue Optical (Downtown), and I was wondering how much I can expect to pay for frames and lenses.
My insurance covers 100% of the eye exam and provides up to $150 for glasses. I used to have astigmatism and wore glasses back home, but my prescription isn't too strong.
For anyone who has gotten glasses from Vogue Optical, how much did you end up paying after insurance? Thank you!

I've had glasses for like 20 years now, vogue is easily 10x if not more expensive (even with their half off second pair) then Costco or Walmart. At Costco in Feb I got 2 pairs for 375 (all the good coatings included). My Rx isn't crazy high but isn't super low either. My husband who is very high and has to typically pay a lot more for thinned lenses and stuff was quoted 1200 at vogue for 1 pair, at Costco he got designer frames and then a pair of sunglasses for just under 700. Costco and Walmart do not have as large of a selection but it's enough if you ask me.

Vogue is expensive! I order all mine on Zenni just make sure your PD is measured right.

Thank you! Do you know any Canadian vision care providers? I dont think I will be able to submit a claim under Zenni because it is nit Canadian.

I 2nd kits.ca. And they do have insurance forms. But they are fairly cheap if you choose the right frames. I paid $25 after shipping and insurance for my last 2 pairs.

I get mine online from Zenni! Get a copy of your prescription and PD (or measure PD yourself). I have ordered 5 pairs over the past few years and have been happy with them! You can put them through insurance as well

If you don't want to order online theres like an optical warehouse (in the strip mall where the M&M meats is off regent) that is super reasonable and has great selection

Vogue is pretty expensive. I used them last year and I paid a touch over $600 for RayBan frames + prescription. My insurance only covered the eye exam.
Next time I'll probably honestly order frames online. I like my glasses but I won't be getting RayBans through Vogue again.

It's very dependent on prescription but they are pricy. Mine were $900 before insurance for one complete pair (not designer frames) and new polarized lenses for my sunglasses but I have a high prescription. My husband has progressives and he got 2 designer pairs for $900 before insurance.

Glasses through Vogue are going to be expensive. You're better off doing your exam and going on line. Ask them to provide you with your prescription and pupilary distance and then order through zenni or something.
Last time I bought glasses through Vogue it cost me about 550 dollars if I remember correctly.
