I went to the Oakland location of 3 guys optical last week (corner of Forbes and Atwood). I scheduled for the free eye exam and contact lense fitting (not free), and I did not need to wait at all, which is super nice. The eye doctor (Christie?) was very friendly and professional, and I got my trial contacts right away. I don't know much about eye exam fees and stuff, but for 40 dollars I got an eye exam + contact lense fitting, without having to wait or travel to some random faraway places (in Pittsburgh that is such a pain when you don't have a car), so I thought it was worth it. Plus it's really close to CMU (and UPitt) so I found it very convenient. \nI took one star off, because the frame selections weren't very big. And the good ones cost a lot, especially when you need high index lenses for your glasses. I heard there's a special that's $99 for 2 pairs of glasses, but that offer does not apply to high index lenses, only the regular thick lenses. So if your power is high, be prepared to pay more.\nOverall I had a great experience at the Oakland store, and I would definitely recommend it to students.
