[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then just pay the $90 lens exam and say you'll pay the $200 for the private lesson IF it's needed. More importantly than YOU thinking your teen can be taught by you and Youtube, does your TEEN think that?[/quote]

op here.  Opting out of the $200 lesson is not possible at the practice where we go.  No 200$ appointment, no contact lens prescription will be given.  They say it’s a liability issue for first time lens wearers.

my kid has not expressed a need for a private lesson. They’re not particularly anxious such that they would assume they need a private lesson to do something they’ve seen me do dozens of times…[/quote]

It's not about it being private or not. Or anxious or not. Many, many people struggle with putting them in and taking them out. The cost for the fitting and "class" (it is private), is usually less than $200. Once the contacts are in, they do need to evaluate them to make sure they are fitting correctly.

You sound cheap.[/quote]
