Why do ordinary frames for glasses cost as much as an iPhone?
So I'm at the glasses store and the frames are like $100, $150, $200, etc. Just the frames.
I don't understand. Tthe frame is just a piece of plastic or metal molded into a certain shape. It's less complex and easier to make than a stapler. Why does it cost $200? And the cheapest is $100.
But in the local pharmacy there are reading glasses sold and they include frames AND lenses… And they're like $10.So at the pharmacy glasses with frames and lenses are $10, but at the eye glass store just the frames start at $99 and average $200.
It's not like I want fancy Gucci designer frames. I just want regular cheap-o prescription glasses but just the frames are ridiculously expensive for no good reason. Or is there a good reason?
Why not just buy the $10 glasses from the pharmacy and remove the lenses and tell the optometrist to use that frame for my Rx glasses?
A-they DON'T.
B-NOT a medicine Q.
They have a huge markup. It's a ripoff.
I buy my glasses at eyebuydirect.com. You need to know your PD (pupillary distance), which the eye doctor's office can measure for you. You might even get the optometrist to measure it for you. That plus your prescription, go online, and get a pair for about $50. I get my progressive lens bifocals for under $100 and they look and work great.
- Relation between Frames per second and Speed of an object? I have an iphone 5 and when recording I read that the fps is 30 fps. Now, based on that, If an object in a video starting from where it appears to where it can't be seen anymore is a time of 0.3 seconds, then the frames per second of that object is 0.3. So to find the speed of that object I divided 30 divided by 0.3 which gave me as an answer 100 feet per second which is 100fps which the speed of the object would be 109.728 km/h. Correct me if I'm wrong.
- Is there a app where there's SHAPED Frames? I Usually See Them When Ppl Have Iphone's but I don't know What its Called Or If Its An App!
- IPhone app that frames photos? I know plenty but I'm looking for one that has glitter, like the frame is a glitter frame, I see it all over Instagram but I don't know the name of the app?
- I used my iphone a lot and now i need eye glasses? Any suggestions to get eye sight back? The eye doctor said my perception is a -1.25 which is not bad because its low and in the negatives. Any suggestions?
