Where to get a contact lens exam for cheap?

I went to costco today and it was 70 bucks. Is that an ok price? Seems a little bit high. Are mom&pop stores usually cheaper?

By all means, entrust your eyesight to the cheapest place you can find. Do not take into account the quality of the service you are paying for , after all, it's only your eyes.

a lot of places will do free eye exams, but then u have to buy your first set of contacts from them...still might be cheaper thoguh...

Hate to say it, but I got mine at Walmart for about $50-$60. Gotta do what ya gotta do when you have no health insurance. 🙁

Around here the cheapest places are, America's Best, Walmart & Costco.

America's Best was shown to have a really, really bad record when it came to eye exams. I think one study showed that over 1/3rd of all prescriptions they gave to their customers were flat out wrong - not even close to what the customer needed! I know you said you weren't doing surgery, but you might as well pay a few bucks more to be sure you get a correct prescription.
