I just asked the clever one in my family and she told me that we wasn't robbed, the extra amount was for digital photos of their eyes. I got the amount wrong as well, so standing in the corner with a hat on for me

How about a kick in the groin?

I suppose... If that's it.. I live in the middle of nowhere & human contact is human contact after all.. I'd just ask that you wear those hideous plush slippers so beloved of Canadian men, a little nylon velveteen does a man wonders...

Phew. So I wasn't robbed then?

I had a big argument with my eye doctor over this fitting fee. He wouldn't give me my contact lens prescription when I told him I'd not purchase my lenses at his store. It's illegal not to issue contact lens prescription in the US and in some provinces like BC in Canada because customer wants to purchase at or order from another store. This guy just gave me an eye glass prescription, which I didn't need. Then he told me I must complete the fitting if I wanted to get my lens prescription, and he asked for additional $50 for that. In the US an eye exam includes fitting, so there's no need to pay extra for that, and I didn't know it's different in Canada.

Why would anyone spend $400 on a year supply of contact lenses when it's just $137 if ordered from an US online store?

Do eye exam at Walmart in the US. It's cheaper, and they have better facilities than most of the eye doctors in Ontario.

Some reductions at clearly contacts for the rest of the week.
