These frames sound outrageously expensive. I got mine from CostCo optical. Name brand, look decent, $149.99. Lens was $79.99 (+10 for the edge polish). I could even go for their own brand, although they didn't look as nice on my face. However did get one of their frames, but for sunglasses, where they worked much better: $49.99 for the frame.
There are online retailers with cheap, but also decent frames, for much less than what you are quoting.
It may be the case that you are much pickier than I am, or that the frames in the same price range don't fit you properly. But I have a feeling that you can get much better deals if you shop around. 450 for the cheapest frame is insane. I'll be re-evaluating the 'vision plan' I got in the open enrollment period, because the value proposition is not clear – they haven't even covered the costs at this lower price point.
