Why are Glasses so Expensive?

It is easy to pick up a pair of reading glasses for almost no money at all. On the high street, such purchases are not only extremely cheap, but also in abundance, meaning that not only will you end up spending very little money, but there is also a good chance that you will actually find a pair you quite like.

So how come buying normal glasses is so expensive if you can easily find reading glasses so cheap? Well, ultimately the reason you pay so much for glasses in opticians is the fact that you are often not only getting designer frames, but also that you will be having a single pair of glasses personalised just for you. Reading glasses on the other hand are simply mass produced in terms of both frames and lenses meaning that the price can be a great deal lower.

However, when you have both ordinary glasses and sunglasses to buy with prescription lenses, suddenly the price can shoot up dramatically. Having said that, there are now sites online that specialise in cheap designer glasses meaning that their selection will be mass produced, but still stylish, offering you the perfect glasses without a need to spend the kind of money you would in opticians.

Buying cheap prescription sunglasses is even easier, as finding the perfect frames will be far easier for two reasons – firstly you will wear them a lot less than ordinary glasses and secondly you will actually be able to find cheap prescription sunglasses for the same cost as any normal sunglasses, so if you could find a pair you like for cheap on the high street you will be able to find something similar online to suit your prescription.

So before you rush in to buying glasses from your opticians, take a look online and see how much cheap designer glasses could save you.
