A Pair Equals.... One?

My boyfriend recently decided he needed some new eyes (contacts and glasses) so he shopped around and ended up going to Marion Eye Center in Sikeston.

He went in for his eye exam and picked out his glasses and contacts. They told him that 3 pair of contacts would be $80 (this is an approximate price, my memory is horrible, so I can't remember the exact amount...). Then it was time to wait for his contacts to come in......

When they called him to come pick them up, they told him the price was double what they had originally quoted him. He, of course, asked why. He told them that he was told half that price for 3 pair. The lady at the desk simply asked "Oh, is that what you would like to do? Just the three pair for [$80]?" Well since that's what he had agreed to in the first place, he told her yes. When he got home with his contacts, there were 6 contacts in the box.... All for his right eye only! He called and told them and they said that yes, that as "3 pair".... What he had asked for.

So, apparently, at the Marion Eye Center they seem to believe people only have one eye on their face. Or, maybe they just really believe that 6 contacts for one eye really is "3 pair".

Any comments? Anyone else dealt with Marion Eye Center? How was your experience?
