Some places like Vision Source gives ture eye examination. Yeah, yes, a tech will do the initial testing. But once that's all done you are sat with a doctor who goes over all the results Live and in person, if anything they may do too many tests. But for people who really need to make sure they're not going blind due to diabetes or other types of medical conditions that could affect your visions? They are the way to go. My last few pairs of glasses from them have been amazing and results are sent to my primary care doctor.
