It's funny to me that a crowd that will spend $1000 on ti cranks or $2000+ on a drivetrain always seems to complain about the cost of eyewear. I'd have a very hard time ever justifying a set of eewings, but as a RX glasses wearer I happily pay for top end eye wear. They are on my face every waking minute, and it's how I see the world. Now that I'm into progressive lenses, the cost really does hurt a bit, but I do love my Zeiss lenses! My riding glasses are not progressives, but good trivex lenses in some Oakley frames.
It does suck that Luxuttica has jacked up pricing so much for not great frames and crappy poly carbonate lenses. I avoid those brands (except the Oakley frames, which were covered by my vision insurance.)
