Hi all,
To add my 2-cents' worth, where I live, if you buy everything new, the
costing goes like this:
Optician test - $ NZ 60
Glass/plastic lenses - pair - outwork - $ nz 140
Anti-reflection coating - $nz40
Frames ? you name it; most start at about $300, and the current minimalist
fad of tiny lenses really has no frame; just the 'temples' or 'legs",
fastened to the lenses.
I recycled my frames, and they didn't argue. I've worn spectacles since I
was 5 years old and much appreciate the eye protection they give.
I think they rely on the markup on new frames to cover clerical services,
shop rent,and so on. No change from me I'm afraid !!
