You can easily pay more for something with a flimsy, fall-apart metal frame with moulded plastic lenses of dubious optical quality than you can for a Televue Nagler, which has far more quality workmanship and much less of a mass market.

As Mark said the quality of the lenses supplied by an optician is superior to those of the typical reading glasses offered in $2.00 shops and chemists. Having a relative in the industry I can confirm that the mark ups on lenses could best be described as obscene, the mark up on frames doubly so.
