I recently stopped into the Americas Best location in Pleasant hills Pa and saw the signs indicating 2 pairs for $69 with a free exam. I made an appointment.

When I went to the appointment, I saw the doctor for a 10 minute exam. After the exam, I was told to pick out 2 frames. The assistant totaled up my costs and 2 pairs of the 69 dollar frames and 2 boxes of contacts came to $355!!!!! They told me that the frames priced under $50 were the only ones that were included on the 2 for 69 deal.

The lenses were extra and they charged me for an contact exam. I told them that I only had 1 exam and that it should have been included in the deal. They then said that I had 2 exams!?!? All in 10 minutes?

Americas Best is a scam.

It feels like you are buying a car from a sleazy sales person. Stay away!

Monetary Loss: $280.

do you expect an thorough 45 minute eye exam for FREE with two pairs of glasses? an eyeexam ALONE usually costs $90+ at a private office where they spend time.

of course thanks to walmart and costco people seem to think that an eye exam done by a professional who went to 8+ years of college should be free as long as they pay the high price of $70, let alone a very, very thorough one!

seriously, you get what you pay for, and if you want more than 10 minutes go to a private office they'll gladly take your $100 EXAM ONLY cost to spend some extra time talking to you. go home.

You obviously work there, I can tell just from your pretentious snotty personality! And people should always expect and demand to get advertised specials.

I do believe that you should have been informed that the contact exam does not include the sale, the sale is only for eyeglasses. And do you really think everything in the store is $69.95?

Only a selection, but the selection is a lot of frames. It does say that the lenses are included, but for single vision plastic lenses. If you wanted anything extra, of course there would be an extra charge. I can't stand people like you.

You expect everything to be included. Be informed.

Only the Eye exam is free not the contacts exam. You should have gotten your facts straight before going.
