• Why do prescription lenses and frames cost so much?

  Unlike other products, glasses are custom made products. Glasses are professional vision correction tools for people with vision problems.That is why they are costly.

Firmoo is one of them, they have large selections of frames,but you can save up to 80%-90% for a pair, my last pair cost me only $20 with shipping.
