I know what you mean. My frames are just 3 strips of titanium. They don't even have hinges, it just relies on the fact that the arms can bend without breaking. So three pieces of metal and 4 holes in the lenses some how work out to be around $350.

And then I've got to get the lenses. I've got bad astigmatism but I'm only reasonably short sighted this means the lenses are thicker than normal. Which means the thinnest lenses and they're another $350.

So all in all it's incredibly expensive! I doubt I'd be able to get any laser eye surgery done as I've got really dry eyes as well...
