i would be concerned a little bit. stipes when you go cheap, maybe you're ao giving up on quality. >> reporter: so we enlisted two of our "gma" interns to help test it. dr. lisa park at nyu langonene dil cter giving eye exams anan testing the g gsses this they bought at pearle vision and lmart and online at warby parker. all of them accurate. next up sue says just because you have a new prescriptn doesn't mean you have to buy new frames. >> you takeh your frames and y n take them to a place like walmart or costco and our readers found this was really gh satisfaction. >> reporter: walmart andnd costco charge between $10 and $0 to bring in o outside frames but check out the savings. costco lenses are only $80 incle anan-glare,cratch resistance and uv protection coatings and you don't even havave to be a costco member.

lastly, sue says, always negotiate. >> i you absolutely fall madly in love with a pair of glasses at your doctor's office then the best thing you can do is try to haggle price. >> reporter: going forward buying online could have the robinsons seeing more than $500 a year in vings. now, as for those eyeyear websiteses a lot offerer hundreds of frames which can alsls give youou a broader selection than you would find at the store. >> but you can't do this online. you can't put the glasses on and see how they look. >> actually you can virtually so a lot of sites allow you to upload your photo and try different pair of glasses on. we did t that withine. got some little different samples and you guys too to see what you might look like with different frames on. it just gives y you a sense of what you would look like and, you know,, i'm actually in the mamarket f some glasses becau i lost mine soy -- >> i like those. >> a like those a lot. >> i'm a fan of the bigger rims. when you're orderingonline you

ill-fitting glasses aren't just uncomfortable. >> heavier or hurt right here. >> ha can affect your vision s you want to make sure. >> okokay. i love the ones you picked out, the white ones but i think i'll stick withthese. >> i'll stick with might too. >> mara, thanks so much. you guys are looking sharp in those glasses. >> i don't know who picked mine. i'm not in love with them. >> he looks like urkel.l. >> thank you. did i pick those lense no, i did not. coming upp they're ending tipping. at does that mean for your wallet. u have that in "the speed feed." >> we'll talk about that are we the tipping point? >> oh, i see what you did. >> yeah. welcome to the annual lighting othe tree. let the lidays begin!
