It was possible because that is what you agreed to.

You didn't choose the base frames that your insurance covered and all the other premium stuff also isn't covered.

That's the name of the game for optometrists, get you in for your "free" exam and upsell you on everything.

My insurance has a frame allowance versus base frames.

Yes, and it is typical that people choose more expensive frames than the allowance but there will usually be frames available that match that frame allowance.

I just get my eye exam done, get the prescription and get my glasses online. Much less expensive. If you want to get a base pair of glasses that have no premiums you can do that as well.
