No difference…just cheaper in price thats all

I thought you were talking about their magifying section no there is no difference my mother goes there.

its not. not really.

walmart optical labs dont use the best quality stuff sometimes IMO but they’re servicable. jjust like everything else they buy in bulk and use off-brand lenses. most private eye docs use pretty high quality brand name stuff.

but IMO it really depends more on THE PERSON who makes your glasses. if that person is trained and experienced, then you’ll get a good pair. if that person is not very well trained and/or not very experienced, you’re more likely to get a bad pair.

Just bring your prescription in to Wal-Mart and the lens will be made the same way as at the optometrist. The only difference will be in the selection of frames and the price.

No, really there is no difference. Depends on whether you need bifocals or just regular glasses, (single-vision). Prices are competitive or slightly less than an eye doctor or places like Sears and JC Penny.

The frames are about the same price as the eye doctor, you may save a few bucks. They have all different types of designer and regular frames at Wal-Mart.

The reason I know this is because I recently purchased a pair of eyeglasses at WM two years ago after buying them from mall eyeglass places, and Sears. They were slightly cheaper at WM. They’ll give you a quote if you take your prescription in.

no walmart actually has an optical department and they can do as much as ne other office. than can fill the glases with the prescription that u want!!! i always take my prescrption for glasses or contacts toi walmart because its cheaper and they have a better selection of frames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go for it!!!!!!!!!
