Vision Insurance Is Making Glasses More Expensive

Luxottica also wholesales their frames to independent retailers -- so even if you're not buying the frames at their stores, or buying their sunglasses at Sunglass Hut, you're still paying for their product. They're also quite aggressive about suing the knockoff Rayban and Oakley retailers -- or so I've heard.

If you're travelling overseas, depending in where you are going and what insurance you have, you can save a lot of money on things like eyewear, contact lenses; as well as things like perscription meds and routine dental work.

Japan has very good glasses (non-Luxottica) and you can do everything out of pocket and fast even if you’re just visiting.
