The fun part is, Luxotica makes the lenses, and they also run the "insurance" provider for most Eye care stuff, so when they say "These glasses are $1400 but with our insurance you only pay $400!" what they are actually doing is artificially inflating the "sticker" price, so it looks like they are giving such a huge discount, while they charge $400 for five cents worth of plastic and ten cents worth of machine time on a completely automated grinding machine. Keep in mind, when you get those same lenses from like zenny for ten bucks, they're still making a pretty good profit margin. Basically Luxotica is trying to turn the eye health care market into the same system we have in the normal health care market here in the states, and congress has turned a blind eye to them.
