How much did you pay for your glasses lenses?

[Yossarian]

iirc the lenses were 150-200 and the frames another 200. I get the best lenses, I don't fvck around with my vision.

0 for high end working eyes

if I wore glasses though, deffinately high end, price prolly wouldn't matter, I know how rough I can be.

$210 for pearl thin lenses from Pearle vision and $110 for tommy hilfiger frame. My eyesight is crap (-7.25 in one eye) so i had no choice but to go for the thinner lenses. I tried some out from 39dollarglasses.com and they were junk (and not $39 either, over $100 for my prescription)

i got the thinnest lenses they had with anti scratch and anti-glare protection... i think it was close to 200$... a RIP OFF, in retrospect

Web-Based Eyewear Sales Challenge Traditional Optical Shops

• "Consumers who are looking to purchase eyewear should go to an eye-care professional to do so" to ensure quality, said spokeswoman Susan Welsh.
  
  Hanlin added that "in a lot of cases, technical skill is required to get lenses to fit properly."
  
  That need, however, is creating more work but even less revenue for the traditional optometry practice. Under the Federal Trade Commission's 1978 Prescription Release Rule, opticians are legally required to provide patients their prescriptions whether or not they purchase eyewear. Now savvy consumers are having opticians measure, say, the distance between their pupils, then using those measurements for online orders.
  
  "So the overhead cost associated with that skill isn't paid for" through a frame order, Hanlin said.
  
  Migachyov's transactions at 39dollarglasses.com are a case in point. She supplied the site with her eye doctor's prescription.
  
  "I don't want to pay extra for a nice, pretty optical shop," she said. "That's fine for them, but it does nothing for me."

$30 Zenni optical, including frame and 1.67 index lenses. Better quality than $200 glasses at rip-off local optician prices.

i bought two pairs so far from 39dollarglasses.com

theyre good glasses. its sorta of a gamble on sizing, but for the price, its cool. they give you a discount for future use everytime you buy something too. so if you buy one now, theyll give you a 5 dollar coupon/credit for next time

im low budget and its a great option for those with less money than others.

two weeks ago.....

i bought some polarized prescription sunglasses at walmart. total cost was 98 dollars (no tax since its for medical purposes etc..) I am very happy with my sunglasses too. they work and they fit pretty good.

$215 for my Revos (non-perscription)

Does that count?
