70$ for glasses in Germany? I have to pay about 200€ per glas. Maybe weaker glasses are cheap. After all you can buy glasses in the supermarket for a few bucks.

Those modern glasses get scratches after just a few years of careful handling and cleaning only with „Mikrofaser“ in my experience. No fun having weak eyes in Germany.
- Epskampie 8y agoYou might consider an ultrasonic glasses cleaner. They are pretty cheap (around €50), and clean without touch.
- uf 8y agoThanks, I’ll check that out. But otoh it’s another thing you’d have to carry around. I‘ll also try buying glasses online as suggested elsewhere. I do that with contact lenses already (dailies for when I’m on stage).
- stevewodil 8y agoI've had good luck with eyebuydirect, and have heard some good things about Zenni too.
- lolc 8y agoI'm sure you can get good glasses for around €120 in Germany. €60 at the cheap end. I carry lenses made from mineral glass so I can wipe them with any cloth I've got handy. They are not more expensive and scratch significantly less. The lenses are heavier and shatter quicker though.
- aaronmdjones 8y agoI had an eye exam today, and I need new lenses. The exam is vouchered on the NHS. I'm keeping the existing frames. The lenses will have an anti-reflective and anti-glare coating. I've never had a scratch, that I can see anyway. Total cost: £39.
- danielbln 8y agoI've recently got 1.67 thickness, de-glared, blue-filtered lenses for 149€ total, including the frame, and my diopter is -7. I think you may be paying too much.
