Pam my glasses are nothing extra special, the frames are modern and nice, but it is the prescription lenses that cost the money,and i donot have anything difficult really, keep in mind that is NZ dollars, but yes they are expensive, you would be lucky to get anything much cheaper, i even got a deal on the frames too so they were more expensive than that, also remember these are from an optician not something you can just buy in the shops,i do agree though the price is outrageous, my husbands would cost even more than that has he has to have more expensive lenses.

The price of getting old eh?
