I buy mine in Europe...My latest set of frames and Optically coated Zies lenses cost me a cool 225 euros last august including an exam (doctor spent an hour with me). At any of the blood suckers here those same lenses alone cost $600 not counting the frames or exam. Top quality at half the cost of plastic here.
