Where from? I looked at Zenni for mums and they were going to be $500aud. Multifocal transitions. Specsavers are $700.
Zenni, actually. I just got the basic $5 frames with the basic prescription
I’m super confused as to how your glasses were this much. Unless you chose every option possible, chose the most expensive frame, lense type , etc, typically zenni is the place to go. I got mine for like $20 for the second pair, and I want to say it was like 50 with poly carb on the first. This doesn’t sound right at all that you paid so much.
Multifocal, polarised & transition. It came out to $294USD, which is just shy of $500AUD.
That’s crazy. Prob like $600 from any luxottica based eye place around here. Mine were always 300 plus
As mentioned above, they're $700AUD from the local shop (specsavers), and for a $200 discount mum's not interested in international internet ordered spectacles in case there's any issue.
