- On the eyeglasses, as far as the frames purchase is concerned, there
- is more than a considerable mark-up in the frames--
-
- Get a hold of the AT&T 800 catalog-free-and check out some frames
- with some of the people--
-
- The lens work is normally not that much; where they get you is in the
- frames.
-
- Example:-Logo of Paris brand-a quality brand-I paid $120.00 for the
- frame, which was $80.00 cheaper than another lens/frame place.
-
- That same frame was only $89.95 + shipping from a dealer in N.C.-
-
- Suggest looking at frames-If you see one or two you like, get their
- prices, write down the numbers on the inside of the frame and then
- call the 800 numbers and get comparable prices, and if much cheaper,
- get your frames, and have only the lens work done locally.
-
- Check it out--
