So, for all my readers that wear glasses or contacts, what is the deal with the pricing? It seems so all over the board to me in ways.

So currently, a good set of glasses can run you anywhere from $700-$1000 depending on what you go for. But then if i look at prescription safety glasses they are only about $200? Glasses that are stronger, better scratch coatings and comes with side shields....

Then go buy a new Iphone, $700-$800 and look at what it can do. you have a mobile tv, computer, stereo, etc Why is it glasses cost the same as something as high tech as a smartphone, yet they are a cheap metal/plastic frame with plastic/glass lenses.

Am I the only one that feels a bit put off by this???

I'm afraid I'll have to find out soon. I can tell a big difference in my vision over the past year. I suppose I'm getting old :D

Happens to the best of us! Myself I notice each year they are a bit worse. They tire, blur and itch earlier in the evening then before as well. I as well am getting old... lol

What part of the country are you in and how do prices compare?

Thank the insurance industry when nobody is paying out of pocket, nobody cares about the price.

You could be very correct! makes sense to me.
