Your problem.

Or they dont bother to do them without the coating.
Thats not a scam, just a sensible way of doing business.

Ask them if they can do that, until you find one that will bother.

Unlikely you will find any of those that will do that for free.

You can try the small claims court, which will likely tell you to go and fuck yourself.

Nope. You obviously didnt forget your ear to ear dog shit.
Must be hard to do that given the smell.

Visual acuity I wouldn't think would be affected by either anti-scratch
or UV coatings. Why would you think so?
The high index should be most noticeable with a heavy prescription.
Little reason to get it if you don't, but if your eyesite is bad, then
anything to thin the glasses out is a big help in not only weight, but
in how well you see out of them.

You could have spent less, but you wanted the "best". The best isn't
always what you expect. I rarely get the bonus features myself, but my
standards are different. I don't buy more than I need. Do you buy the
extended warranties? Now, that's a scam.

Posting in usenet probably won't help there.

It could be that your optician gets all the eyeglasses with the "special"
features and takes the chance that most people can be talked into paying
extra. It may be a hassle for him to specify UV/Anti-scratch/Hi-index
for each pair he orders from his supplier.
Sorta like Bauche & Lomb had a lot of people upset when word got out
that they were selling daily disposable lenses much cheaper than their
regular lenses when they were one and the same.
Did you get cheated? That's debatable; you got what you paid for, right?
