Comment on I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

I don’t feel like quoting or typing out responses, so I’ll just hit your points.

  1. No they’re fucking not. Not even close. There’s 200+ different manufacturers, and even individual lines from the same companies have wildly different qualities. I would know, since I work with them every day, go to several trade shows every year and didn’t get my info from Google.

  2. Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don’t wear them.

  3. This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.

  4. My line of frames is not a “big name”, and was only sold in 54 offices in 4 countries when I had them manufactured in 2021. There is no benefit to me for anyone to go to any store other than the two I own, you’ll never bump into my line, which I don’t make money from anyway.

I’m glad you watched a video once, but this is my profession and I know better than you.
