Why do prescription eyewear cost $300.00 from the optometrist when I can buy prescription eyewear on the internet with all the extras for less than $50.00?

Because one company controls most of the frame manufacture - for the world. Luxottica has contracts for exclusive distribution at most of the national chains that sell glasses too.

would they also not control the price of frames from the on-line dealers?
Check out these prices for eyewear with lenses.

The best part of the Harbor Freight model is people who see it will start talking louder to you.

It is behind the ear if you have ears like obama no one will see it!

google "Lloyd's Hearing Aids". They been around since the 60s. Good product at a fair price. I bought a set of digitals from them with the remote control for just over $2K, local hearing shops all wanted $8K or more.
