Contrast that with my normal optometrist metal specs, even with quite a thin frame, I fall asleep and roll on them , drop and step on etc and 99% of the time I just bend them back into shape. IMHO there is _absolutely_ no comparison to the quality and robustness of cheap frames against quality frames from the optometrist  |
Are you an optometrist and don't get the two mixed up ie: spectacle retailers and optometrists as often optometrists are attached to retail stores whom make the bulk of the money.
I've been wearing glasses for over 40 years, I've had laser eye surgery (which didn't work) and I've worn and wear contacts so don't try and justify to me the rip off prices these stores charge for glasses especially those pieces of plastic I'm referring too and not neccessarily those titanium alloy unbreakable metal frames designed and engineering after the billions spent on space research.
