Yes, I believed the ads I've seen on TV for years and decided to pay these people a visit. I expected to pay $69.99 for two pairs of glasses as advertised, but because I required a stronger lens prescription was told that my cost would be a minimum of $170 plus the cost of the frames (approximately $220 at minimum).

If you require a strong lens prescription and want all the special feature (thin lens, anti-reflective, etc.) expect to pay around $600 for one pair.

The public have been grossly mislead with this company's false advertising; has anyone filed a class action suit against this company?

Being as I used to work at america's best I can understand everyone's complaints. The company needs to be more straight forward on commericals and advertisements about pricing. The commission plan also needs restructuring to allow the opticians to sell the 69.95 and not have to push the poly all the time.

Oh and BTW, even if you DID chooses 2 $129.95 frames, the total cost for those frame+ thinnest lenses+ anti reflective + eye exam would be $436.95.... NOT $600 FOR 1 PAIR.....

You are so wrong! I assume your eyes did not go bad yesterday so you KNOW that thinner lenses are more expensive. For $69.95 you CAN have two pairs of eyeglasses. You will just have to put up with the thick lenses and the coke bottle effect that's all. For people who do not have the $$ , it's a great deal. For morons like you who think they can get 2 frames that are $129.95+ thinnest lenses+ anti-reflective coating.... Well obviously math was not your forte in school... IT IS LL OVER THE SIGNS!!! Choose 2 $49.95 frames and it includes single vision plastic lenses. NOTHING ELSE!!!!! grow up and by yourself some common sense.
