You can buy frames with glasses in India for less than Rs.800 (less than $10)

I would doubt the quality.

A few years back my wife bought a pair (single vision) in China for about $30--excellent at the time but they turned out not to be durable. (She had taken a tumble and smashed her pair.)

They are actually pretty decent quality - not Carl Zeiss lenses though :)
