Unfortunately, its rather similar in Australia. Got a recent quote for a pair of glasses to be at $1000.

I feel like something has changed in Australia. I've worn glasses a long time and remember them always costing a few hundred dollars per pair. A few months ago I went into Specsavers and was able to buy glasses for under $50 per pair.

My prescription hasn't changed but the prices definitely have.
