[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  It's more expensive to replace the lenses in a pair of glasses than to buy new ones.

2.  Luxotica makes almost all the "brand name" frames in the US and then charges based on the brand.

3.  If you know your face measurements and PD, you can buy online for cheap (I have one $400 pair from the optician and 3 more pairs that I paid $150 for from OzealGlasses.com).

4.  Unless you're a label whore, IMO designer glasses last no longer than any other brand.  It's all about the materials.

5.  The Lion's Club donations?  Actually cost the Lion's Club money, but it's a feel good thing.  Pop your lenses out and give them to your kids for dress up.

#1 makes no sense or it depends where you are going.  Everywhere I have gone have charged me the same price for replacement vs. new frames.  From Costco to the $400-500 lens places.  They may be charging you a surcharge for not having the template to cut them, but then you are just overpaying.

I wouldn't buy online in less your doctor is willing to check them.  Some are good, but often they don't do the best job cutting the lenses. If your prescription is minimal the cheap lenses are fine but for worse eyes you need at least a 1.67 or better higher index.[/quote]
