answer:About $100—$400 total depending on the quality of the frames and lenses, and whether or not they’re running any discounts or ‘deals’. Because I opt for every possibly feature available such as anti-scratch, extra thin, etc., my lenses cost me about $200. My frames are name brand and go for about $100–150. Exams are roughly $75, so I expect to pay a total of $400 more or less when I need new glasses. Often establishments like Lenscrafters will have package deals consisting of a selection of low-end frames, basic plastic lenses and the exam for a relatively low price…say about $125 or $150? edit: Since my vision has stabilized I only need new glasses every 5–7 years, so I’m willing to pay much more than I did when I needed new glasses annually.
