Eyeglasses are freakin' expensive!

[elfs]

This afternoon I went looking for a new pair of eyeglasses, and was shocked at just how much they cost. A pair of frames averaged $250, and my insurance covered barely half of that. The lenses weren't fully covered. Even with insurance, I was looking at an outlay of maybe $230 in cash. Grief!

I'm going to shop around, but I don't know if I can't afford them even with the insurance.

Ouch! Is it just your location, or have they gone up that much in one year? Just last year I got titanium frames for $190 (before insurance).
