I recommend finding an independent eye practice - independent ophthalmology practices are common and likely to also have optometrists on staff - and getting a printed prescription from your exam. This lets you sidestep the Luxottica monopoly completely when you take your prescription to an online vendor like 39dollarglasses.com. You can easily get two pairs of glasses with the full suite of antireflective coatings for less than the copay you'd pay buying glasses at retail with insurance.
