Is a Walmart eye exam worth it?

Much like the groceries, home goods and just about everything else under its roof, you can usually count on a Walmart eye exam to be among the lowest priced in the area.

Cost is an important factor to most people who get an eye exam, especially when they’re paying out of pocket. Store-based eye exams, like the ones at a Walmart Vision Center, tend to offer the benefit of lower prices than their private office-based competitors.

But does affordability come with trade-offs?
