I have rayban sunglasses from before the meta glasses trend, and some people think I’m recording them when I’m just wearing prescription glasses 😎😭

I’m in the same boat my friend (ray-ban eye glasses), its a bummer as I prefer thick framed glasses. Mostly because I’m rather rough on them. Wire glasses won’t cut it for me…

The shitty thing is it’s hard not to give the fuckers money.
Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.
Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley’s stock dropped enough to buy them out. They’re the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.
They’re one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.

Buy Chinese knock offs.

Yes, the reason for $900 frames exist is people who buy them
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 42 minutes ago
Yeah, but they also own the $50 frames.

It’s harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.
The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.
Moat people don’t even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.
