I have a friend in the business and yes frames are way overpriced! When I heard what she got designer frames for and what they sell for is crazy not to mention a rip off!
Every industry has a few companies that dominate. From food to tech to glasses. I love that we have companies like Warby Parker that offer decent quality with trendy looks but they still are not at the same level as companies that have poured millions upon millions of dollars into R&D. I'm actually a fan of independent eyewear brands. That's why our retail division only carries such lines. They innovate and offer high quality products without feeding the beast that is Luxottica. There are good products at sub $100 prices, but most are a few years behind the quality offered by companies like Crizal and Zeiss. I can't tell you how often people come back after buying from Wallmart, Costco, Warby Parker and Zenni. Happens all the time.
This is glorious, I have been researching "replacement lens glasses specsavers" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rayemiron Uncommunicative Release - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to improve your eyesight naturally without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
@@EyeInfluence Sorry but total B.S. I’ve bought excellent quality glasses at Walmart and Zenni & EyeBuyDirect. The key is to TAKE CARE OF YOUR GLASSES!!!! Don’t leave them all over the house to get stepped or so that the baby or the dog can get ahold of them and destroy them. Always keep them in a case when they are in your purse or in the cars glove box. Handle them with care, be gentle with them. Never rip them sideways off your face like they do in the movies. Use both hands to remove your glasses and to put them on. At night lay them flat on the nightstand, don’t fold them up because it’s hard on the screws and hinges. Take them to an optical shop for adjustments or to tighten the screws. I’m not about to risk breaking my glasses by attempting to do my own adjustments. Most shops will do adjustments for free. I’ve worn glasses since the 4th grade so I’ve learned these lessons the hard way. I had to school my husband because he’s just started to have to wear glasses & he thought ripping them off his head sideways was acceptable behavior. I told him it’s a good way to break them and then have to replace them.
@Mike Honcho You need to upgrade your grammar game “ I don’t wear nothing"? Good grief! It's "I don’t wear ANYTHNG". Grab a 3rd grade English grammar book & see if you can understand it.
Watch the 60 minutes documentary to find out why glasses are way overpriced , it’s a scam. Prescription glasses are very easy and cheap. Greed is what it comes down to.
Yep Luxottica is the reason. What was once $300-$400 20 years ago, the last time I could afford new glasses from Lens Crafters, I just ordered the same thing for $50 to my door from Zenni. You almost don't even need an optician appointment for prescription anymore either. I just bought the EyeQue home vision tester to order new glasses. Hope they turn out well.
Glasses are produced, for the most part, by a single company; EssilorLuxottica. This company is abusing monopolistic power to extract huge profits from customers. You can look it up.
So here is a tip that I use to save money, buy your frames on Ebay. You can find some quality Guess Frames, Nautica Frames, Flexon Frames, etc for $25.00. Yes some of these frames may not be the most up to date but most of them come with a case, cleaning cloth or even a sunglasses clip. Keep some of your older frames and have new lenses put into them. I have a pair of Hart Schaffner Marx frames from 1999 and I have put three sets of lenses in them. Also metal frames do hold up better than plastic typically, especially if you accidentally sit on them. I have sat on my Hart Schaffner Marx frames twice, bent the frames and was able to straighten them out. A lot of time people don't like metal frames because they pinch the wearer's nose and that is why the wearer chooses plastic.
Ebay has a feedback area where you can see how many positive, negative or neutral comments are left during a month, 3 months, 6 months, a year, etc. I enjoy the money being saved especially if you have the unfortunate luck of your glasses being stolen out of your vehicle.
The real truth why glasses so expensive is because of a Italian company called “Luxotica” they literally own ray-ban, oakley, dolce-gababna, channel, even lens crafters, but they do not make lenses only frames, Oakley was the last major competitor to Luxotica until Luxotica stop selling oakley in all their stores (i.e. lens crafters) because of differences in cusumer cost, until 2007 when oakley was really plumbeting in the stock market , oakley then didnt have to but they disnt want to file chapter 11,12,etc... so they sold out to “Luxotica”, & that is the real truth, all facts be my guest to do the research , its really fuccd up after u take it all in and realize fucc italy !
Sorry but that’s not the reason why Glasses cost what they cost. Yes, Luxottica has a monopoly but there are other very large companies out there. The reason why Glasses cost as much as they do is because the consumer is willing to pay. Same goes for tech companies, mattress companies and any other industry. Pick one and you’ll find a Luxottica type company which dominates it. Ultimately the consumer makes these companies what they are so we are all to blame.
@@EyeInfluence what a crock of rubbish. You manipulate the market, industry collusion and price setting, 1000% markups, You can put whatever spin you want on it but the consumer just gets shafted.

Eye Influence well If knew there was cheaper alternative I would go for that instead of buying dose 500 dollars scams from Retailers why I think it’s a scam is I neither get the Quality or expertises every time I buy eye glasses the majorette of retailers will try everything to convince me to be their costumer to the point they will flat out lie about their expertise to give example I asked several optician if they hade taken master's degree and specific course as my eye sight problems is complex and need to be seen by many different optician to give accurate results on what I’m struggling when reading also it helps my school to better customize my special education as often my school problems is linked to my eyesight also some time I get defective glasses and that is always hard to get refund
@@EyeInfluence the consumer is only "willing to pay" because luxottica owns the market so they literally don't have any other option but to, that's how a monopoly works
Someone gofted me glasses and i just checked its price and it's worth $500 lol. I don't what it so expensive about it. It doesn't look that expensive. I though will be 10$ max
It's noticing the bank account dropping 4 digits when I still need a washer,microwave, and roof repairs.I make $17 a hour as a cook at 42 hours a week with a few bonuses.I don't like multiple payment plans.Its too easy to end up broke or paying more on interest,record keeping,late fees,penalties,early cancellation .I wish a private company could take $250 from me every week and divide it between people I owe so I can focus on other things.
I JUST spent over a thousand pounds UK on new glasses, high end frame and the best zeiss varifocals available plus some customization. Why so much? I asked myself a question "what is the value of your eyes and sight", no I'm not rich BUT MY eyes are worth ANYTHING.
Hey nice work. Great way of explaining this! I'm an optician myself and I look forward to trying out all sorts of different frame and lens options as I continue in my career.
Eye Influence yes, well, sort of! I’m four years in right now and looking for ways to grow a little at a time. My place of employment right now has limited lens options so I am happy to have found your channel, along with one or two others, who provide opinions and casual learning material. Hoping to be ABO-NCLE certified sometime in the future.
Buy your frames direct from the manufacturer- up to 50% cheaper than from the retailer. Then send the frames off to an online retailer to be glazed with your prescription. My Oakley were £109 direct from their website and were £64 to be glazed. If I’d gone to an opticians the same pair glazed would have been £450
Just a bit sensitive to the numbers: $500 Glasses / 730 (2 years) = 0.69$ / Day, not 0.69 cents per day (that's 100 times difference). Anyway, still have a hard time time to justify why glasses are so expensive. Seems lack of competition is the main reason.
A couple hundred dollars on glasses?! Lol. I have a strong prescription and astigmatism. Frames and lenses after taxes equals $680 CAD! If it was around $350 I would feel like I wasn't being assaulted. Even though I'm broke and still paying off Revenue Canada, I still shelled out for lenses and frames from my real optician because I don't want to deal with the bullcrap of ill-fitting frames and poorly calibrated lenses. To add insult to injury, I have to wait two weeks to get my glasses, so now I'm walking around with electrical tape on the arm of my glasses (Hugo Boss, by the way), because the coating on the arm started crumbling off about a year ago and reached condition critical yesterday.
An eye glass is a piece of flimsy plastic. It really doesn't make sense that it should cost as much as the peak technology like a mobile phone which contains billions of very advanced, very tiny, very complex machineries that have to be carefully arranged so that it can actually do billions of computations each second. That is modern magic, eyeglass is a piece of plastic that isn't really that much more complicated than Lego parts. It doesn't cost the lens manufacturer $50 dollars to add a coating. This is something that really costs the lens manufacturers only a few cents. The eye glass industry doesn't really have "innovations" per se, as much as it's really just a bunch of fashion fads. Most of the core innovations, technologies that actually matters, have already happened decades ago. In any reasonable industry, the price of these technologies would've gone down over the years as manufacturing improved and R&D costs are recouped, that is not the case with eyewear technologies.
Your Awesome Oliver!!! How cool is your RUclips channel!? I haven't shopped for frames in 2 years. One of my two pairs broke. :( I am like a kid in a candy shop! It's addictive! I love it except for the price. Progressive lenses and frames. 750.00! I am used to buying from high-end stores, (frames 250.00 and up) I prefer to support local businesses whenever I can but, are there, any, quality online eyewear company's out there?
i wouldn't mind the $40 glasses for 2-3 years. i'll just replace them regularly. would the $500 glass guarantee to be there for life? i doubt. i'd even have to change glasses regularly after a couple of years' time...
I think the biggest problem for a lot of people would be the.. trickle cost compared to the bucket. Spending 10 bucks a week, that happens, it's within budget. Spending 500, they can't do that. Now were they to save those 10 bucks they could easily afford it, but a lot of people just spend it sadly. I fully agree with your comparison! You spend loads of money on waking up every day (coffee). Why not spend half of that on actually being able to improve your quality of life
There is plenty of psychological influence there. The upfront cost of glasses can be intimidating and gives the impression that they are "expensive". I just wanted to put things into perspective. Wireless providers did the same with phones. People upgrade more often now when they only see the $50 or so monthly cost of the phone instead of the $700+ true cost. And the crazy part is, most these days never own the phone because they trade it in. Maybe I should've put that in the video haha.
Good video. I don't see anything wrong with buying good quality items. The issue is going to LensCrafter and spending $500 on a pair of glasses that are mediocre and they are Ray Bans. A lot of us want to spend money on a great product but not get ripped off because of the name brand. My last three pairs of glasses have been Ray-Bans and I've had nothing but issues with them. Sorry just a little frustrated and looking for a better option. I just recently decided to go with a local shop and just purchased a no-name brand and that it was already good price still more than Warby Parker but just going a different route tired of spending so much on Ray-Bans and they don't last and when I look at what LensCrafters has offer it all seems the same I know they're owned by luxottica
Rayban is a unique brand because they are the most mass produced glasses in the world. Much like apple products, they are everywhere and just about everyone has either owned one or eventually will. Producing anything at that rate is bound to cause problems. Rayban also recently (2 years ago) moved their factory to China so that could also start causing some quality issues. Not so much because of the labor force or materials, but because moving anything that massive will take time to settle. I'm a big fan of independent eyewear companies. They make smaller quantities and they know they don't have a second or third chance to impress the consumer. They have one shot (I hear the 8 mile song playing in the background for some reason) to make a good impression and that forces them to make a superior product. Prodesign Denmark, OWP, Randolph USA, LaFont and many more are great options. That's just the frames. The lens options available outside of Lenscrafters, Walmart, CostCo and even Warby Parker can be far superior when purchased at a private office. Though this will soon change. Luxottica, the company that owns Lenscrafters, just merged with Essilor, the makers of Crizal coatings and Transitions. Essilor is the world's leading producer of lenses.
I agree somewhat with your point I would not buy Ray ban Rx frames too expensive for what you get but I bought Ray Ban sunglasses for 100 frames are worth it and I turned them into prescription glasses with clear lenses at half the cost of the Ray Ban Rx next time be careful what you buy Ray Ban sunglasses are usually made in Italy and made to high standards.
Now I'm about to get glasses In some weeks and I dont have much money so can I buy a pair of sun glasses and change the glass of the sun glasses to the actual glasses.
@@EyeInfluence Is someone’s “quality of life” going to be increased or diminished if they have to go into debt to buy glasses so that they can see? What about families who have children who need glasses? Kids break their glasses all the time, should a family be price gouged and go broke to give their kid a pair of glasses so the kid can read a book or see the board in school so that they can learn?
