It seems to me that approximately everyone on the planet sees mass media with people wearing ordinary glasses and will want to wear those instead of bulky silicone-filled lenses, even if it costs more. We're already willing to pay hundreds of dollars on name-brand frames- it's not because you can't find cheaper ones.
- inferiorhuman 9y agoThe article was talking about folks who are far too poor to afford a few hundred dollars to drop on glasses.

Quite poor people, if they get the chance, will probably pay for very-cheap real glasses even if there are even-cheaper silicone ones available. For people with no other choices, I can see the silicone ones being useful! But "hey, take these glasses we made for poor people" is not a great sales pitch.

- dharmab 9y agoYou can get perfectly fine, durable, non-dorky plastic frames for $10.
