Sticker shock: Why are glasses so expensive? has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot.
newtboysays...I've been using Zenni for years. <$10 glasses that are quality, with a huge selection of styles!? Why wouldn't you? I bought my first pair about 15 years back at Costco, for around $120 (on sale), before I knew about Zenni. Since then, they're the only place I go. Never again with the >$100 glasses....screw that, yo.

RedSkysays...Been wearing glasses from eyebuydirect.com for years.
The moment I realized the margin I was being charged for what are basically just brands compared to online, I was out of there.
articiansays...They don't use the words "monopoly" or "price-fixing" even once in this; why?
Sekrinsays...They do - Adam says "But that would give them virtual monopoly over the entire industry" @ 1:15

Boo ya, Luxottica!!
True story - I *really* love my Maui Jim sunglasses, and I'm pleased after watching this and finding out they're not only teh awesome in themselves, but also one of the few brands not owned by Luxottica.
ChaosEnginesays...Laser surgery, people. It is the way of the future.
Glasses can go fuck themselves.
AeroMechanicalsays...Last time I needed a new prescription, it was obvious that it was going to be way cheaper for me to go with daily disposable contact lenses instead. I only occasionally need 20/20 vision.
When my eyes deteriorate to the point where I need lenses for driving, I'm just gonna get them zapped.
