vision tests. I don't think it really matters where you go. They all use the same equipment and tests. For real eye care you'd want to go to an ophthalmologist.

Don't like that you have to buy a package of 30 exams. But it's cheaper per exam

It works for us because we have a big family and a package of 30 pretty much

TNT is going to guess the glasses they give you are enormous but cheap

Disagree on the low skills assumption

I bet its a great choice if you don't want the burden of running a practice.

That's definitely one of the pros of working in a big box.
