My first trip to the eye doctor was interesting: The eye exam consisted of a putting on a bulky set of glasses and the doctor manually putting in different lenses. Compared to a US eye exam it was as bare bones as can be... and I appreciated that. I have often wondered why my optometrist in the US gives me a color blind test every time. At this point in life I think I'd notice if I stopped seeing red or green.
Anyhow, the exam was very quick. I told him my old prescription. He added a little more strength and we found a happy setting in five minutes.
The price: Eye exam plus frames with high index lenses for under $90. If my vision wasn't so bad - and I could have had normal lenses - it would have been even cheaper.
