Main Tittle: Financial Facts About Buying Glasses

Online Glasses Can Be 70% Cheaper
Buying glasses online can save you up to 70% compared to physical stores, thanks to fewer middlemen and lower overhead costs.

Luxury Branding Increases Price, Not Quality
Many high-end glasses brands are owned by the same parent companies, meaning you're often paying for the brand name, not better quality.

Clear Vision Isn’t Always Cheap
An average pair of prescription glasses can cost anywhere from PKR 5,000 to 30,000, depending on frame style and lens features.

Most People Overpay for Glasses
Research shows that many buyers spend more than necessary due to upsells on coatings and add-ons they might not need.

Two Is the New One
Many eyewear buyers now purchase multiple pairs—one for daily use, one for screen protection, and one as a fashion accessory—leading to increased spending.

Insurance Often Falls Short
Vision insurance doesn’t always cover the full cost. Most people still end up paying 40–60% out of pocket, especially for premium lenses and stylish frames.

Blue Light Lenses Are an Investment
Although blue light filtering glasses cost more, they can reduce digital eye strain—helping avoid costly visits to the eye doctor over time.

Seasonal Sales Save You Big
Buying glasses during end-of-season sales or online discount events can help you save thousands, especially when combined with free shipping or BOGO offers.

Eyewear is a Long-Term Purchase
A good pair of glasses, if properly maintained, can last 2–3 years or more—making it a smart investment in both health and personal finance.

Customization = Hidden Costs
Every lens upgrade—anti-glare, scratch-resistant, photochromic—adds to the total. Custom lenses can double the price of your glasses.
