My wife just told me she has new lens's ordered, but decline on new frames, $375.
Why so much?

It’s like the diamond business. 200% markup or more.

I buy my prescription glasses online.
Generally, I pick out a low-cost frame. Couple of dozen to choose from. Then enter my prescription and place my order.
I think the last order I made was around $50 for four pairs.
EyeBuyDirect... and I forget the other company right now. Easy enough to Google.

EyeBuyDirect... and I forget the other company right now. Easy enough to Google. In fairness, my wife has a much stronger prescription than I do so her glasses cost a little more.

Costco, everything in one place and high quality product and service. Consumer Reports (I know, I know) did a report on all the big eyeglass outlets for value and the precision of the lens matching the prescription and Costco was #1.

When frames are cheap, guess where they're made? How much is your patriotism worth?
Or you can pay big bucks for an Italian designer's name. Last I heard the Italians are still our friends.

The reason theyre high is sometimes you let the same eye doctor do the exam and lenses and the frames. A triple gotcha
Like going to an audiologist MD to get hearing aids.
Go to Costco, save $3000. We just figured that out a few months ago with a family member. Same manufacturer.
