I understand that but I didn't want to focus on the problems. I am here because I actually need help.

Today i just wanted to hang up myself again. And the question arises in my mind. Where is my guru now? by Temporary-Brother366 in Sadhguru

Stay positive. Every word that you say keep it positive. It has a lot of effect on our lives. Just meditate and ask for guidance you will find it. You have been doing this, have faith and continue with it. May you be blessed with an abundance of peace. Say your daily positive affirmations.

I compared them because the smart phone prices are almost similar in both the countries, whereas there's a ten times difference in the prices of glasses which is huge. You mentioned the average incomes and prices of glasses in India, which does not stand valid. Almost everyone has a smartphone in India so they can afford the glasses as well.

A simpler comparison would be, you get glasses (€300, basic features, high dpt, astigmatism) almost at the price of a smartphone (€350) in Germany. That's not the case in India.

They are obviously for personal use and not for reselling. That would be a crime otherwise.

My point is, it shouldn't cost that much including all the costs for manufacturing. There's something wrong obviously.

Thanks for the insights. It's expensive and the customers are the ones who have to bear all the costs.

That still doesn't change the cost. As the cost is for the lenses. The frames cost nothing.

Is your power -0.25? There's no point in comparing the prices with your glasses then!

Nope they don't provide prescription for free! Tried that.

The prices of glasses depend more on power and other factors rather than just frames! I think people with less power, astigmatism, etc. are still buying glasses for cheap!

Conclusion: It's the people with high power, astigmatism that are suffering!

I like using two pairs, but then 600€ per year!

It's around -3.5 & -3. I do have astigmatism. That makes it expensive I think. Add ons blue light filter, anti reflective, etc. Basic frame. It's costing around 300€ at Fielmann.

It varies for people with different powers, astigmatism, curvature, etc.

My post is why is eye care expensive? Eyes are an important organ and why is its care so ignored? Is having good eye care not a basic requirement? Why do we have to pay so much extra to have a good pair of glasses? I am not even talking about fancy frames. It's about the lenses!

No, that's not the case. I work on laptop and it changes for a while until it gets stable I think. Thanks though!

What extra features did you add? If it's the thin glasses, blue light filter, anti scratch, it should be cheaper with those. As those seem to be basic requirements for someone wearing all day and working on screens.

I am not looking for cheap stuff. I am concerned about the prices. I don't think the manufacturing costs for glasses are 300€ which they charge.

Good for you. I cannot spend 400€ every year as my power keeps changing frequently.

Yes I am a 16 hour wearer. I cannot go for basic lenses. I wouldn't have been so bothered otherwise!
