Oh dear. That sounds sickening. (I'm due for a new pair of glasses and I'm in Western Europe).
Recently, I happened to visit a store to look for a new pair of frames (& glasses). The frames were so insanely expensive I had to ask the guy: "Why are they so expensive?". The guy's short reply was: "It's the brand". When I pressed further to explain, he couldn't say anything meaningful.
Moreover, the quality of these "branded" glasses from my tactile inspection felt subpar (as in, I was wondering: "will they even last a couple of years?").
/me is still on the look out for a reliable way to find something reasonable without shelling out an arm and a leg. (Don't mind paying for good quality.)

Make sure the size is close enough to a frame that you have tried and found to be a good fit. If you have a strong prescription, you'll want a frame with a narrower lens width, otherwise the edges of the lens will be thick, even with hi-index materials.
- kashyapc 9y agoAh, thank you for the suggestion, I'll certainly give it try. (And no, not a strong prescription.)
