Hi Steven. Medical insurance never covers glasses. There are a variety of eye insurances that will pay for both a refraction (eye glasses check) and a pair of glasses. Two common eye insurances are Vision Service Plan (or VSP) and Medical Eye Services (or MES). Those are commonly paired with medical insurance and many people aren't sure if they have eye insurance. If you call these guys they can help you figure it out. As far as prices for lenses, you get what you pay for (just like with camera lenses). A high quality lab that makes great lenses and coatings will cost a little more than a low quality lab. These guys use a great quality lab and I've been happy with all the lenses I got from here. For frames they're comparable to other eye doctors. One huge perk is that they work with you to make sure the frame fits you well and don't charge for adjustments. I went back ~ 3 times for my last pair to get the adjustment right and they happily helped me tweak the fit until I was happy.
Covered normally by your medical insurance. But call first to be sure. I like them very much
