Cost of Eye Exam, Lenses and Glasses

Pamela’s Vision Journey

Pamela and her husband both used the Curaechoice Vision program at Box Eyewear in Tuscaloosa. Pamela, who wears contacts due to significant vision impairment, had her eye exam and ordered special-order lenses. Her husband, who works at Mercedes-Benz, received two pairs of glasses—one pair ready on-site and the second arriving within a week.

Despite needing custom contacts, Pamela was pleased they arrived in just two weeks. The overall process was smooth, and both she and her husband appreciated the professionalism and care they received.

Her husband paid under $70 for his glasses, while Pamela’s total out-of-pocket cost was around $175, including her special-order contacts. Without Curaechoice, they estimate they would have paid significantly more, with eye exams alone typically costing $50 per person.

"We would have paid hundreds more without Curaechoice. The exams alone would have been $100, and last time I got glasses, I paid over $300 for just one pair,” Pamela shared.
We had a great experience with Curaechoice and the savings made it worth the trip.

Their experience at Box Eyewear was quick and efficient, with exams and orders completed in just over an hour. Pamela highly recommends the Curaechoice Vision program to fellow members and their families, citing its affordability and ease of use.

“We had a great experience, and the savings made it worth the trip. The process was seamless, and we were both very pleased,” she said.
