I'm thinking it is time for me to get my eyes examined (43 and have to really refocus when I go from reading to trying to watch tv).

Are the eye exams cheaper at Walmart or Sam's? Why did you go to Eyemasters to get your glasses instead of getting them at Sam's or Walmart. I don't have optical insurance so I'm looking for the cheapest way out.
