mg · 2 days ago I just want to thank CBC very much. Since this episode aired I have been yelled and screamed at by people who come into the store that I work at. I don't make the prices, our Head Office does. I have been living a nightmare.
You only did your research on LensCrafters and an On line source. This was unfare and only showed to sides .Do your research Marketplace and do not take the opinon of a crooked optician who owes 65 millin dollars in fines.
Thanks to you the company I work for will probably do more downsizing, people will loose their jobs and unemployment has just went up!!!!

It used to be that we could buy complete glasses in Ontario with same-day service for a reasonable price. (Remember companies like Public Optical?). Alas, such companies are long gone.
Until 3 years ago my wife and I had had good service and reasonable prices ($120 - $130) from Walmart Optical. When I tried to fill my last prescription the price had risen dramatically for my straightforward prescription. I tried several opticians and the prices ranged from $400 - $600). I looked at the on-line sites and selected one in the US where my progressive multifocals in a flex, semi rimless frame, with all coatings and high index lenses cost less that $100. These were the best glasses I've ever had and so comfortable that I gave up wearing contacts altogether.
Recently both my wife and I ordered new glasses from the same company at a very reasonable cost. We have been completely satisfied.
However, you do need to make sure that all the measurements you provide are accurate. That includes stem, bridge and near and far PD. (In my case, the PDs were on one of my prescriptions).
