Many people have had the experience of walking into the glasses store, and after the light test, the shopkeeper recommends thousands or more of them, saying they have better materials, better lenses and better eye protection. But there's a couple hundred bucks for one, and it's pretty clear。
It's also a corrective vision, 300 and 2,000 glasses. How many are real costs, and how many are brand premiums and marketing costs? Today, in the mirrors, frames, light tests, and sales, the facts are not known in the industry, and glasses will never be used for any more crimes。
I. Mirrors: the most expensive place and the easiest place to be fooled
In a pair of glasses, lenses are the core, and the price gap is mainly here. The glasses of $300 and $2,000 are often several steps behind。
1. Mirror mass and thinness
• 300 bits: mostly common resin lenses, with a greater refraction rate of 1. 56 and 1. 60. It's okay to have a low range, and once the near-sightedness exceeds 400 degrees, the lens is clearly thick, and the edge is a circle, and the frame is so big that it's so heavy。
• 2000 slots: 1. 67, 1. 74 high-refractive lenses are commonly used, which are thinner and lighter at the same degrees, with a higher degree of near-sightedness and a better appearance。
Plating membrane and functionality
For the most part, cheap lenses are based only on basic anti-striking, anti-reflective membranes, with single functions。
Precious lenses are superseded with multilayered plating: blue light, uv, oil-resistant, water-resistant, wear-resistant, dizziness-reducing, some with intelligent colour change, rapid colour change, and a slowing of near-sighted deepening。
From the experience of use:
• cheap lenses are easy to scrape, with a year's fuzzy yellow and a moderate radiance rate
• more accessible, softer, cleaner and longer-lived lenses。
But here's the truth: mirrors with refraction rates and parameters can be several times different brand prices, many premiums are spent on advertising and brand names, and the real optical gap is not as exaggerated as the price。
3. Branding and channels
International large-scale lenses, which alone could be close to a thousand dollars, plus a frame set that would be over 2,000 easy。
The first-line brand of domestic production, of good quality, solid parameters and much more moderate prices. Many glasses stores deliberately magnify the advantages of imported brands, but rarely offer domestically produced lenses with higher value。
Ii. Frames: the expensive ones are not necessarily stronger, nor the cheap ones are not durable
A lot of people think 2,000 glasses must be higher. Actually, the water in the frame is bigger than the lens。
1. Material differentiation
• 300 bits: common tr90, general alloy, plate, slightly heavier, stylistly, resilient and fully adequate daily。
• 2000 slotting: more pure titanium, beta titanium, high-end carbon fibre, imported sheeting, lighter, more corrosive, less allergic, more sensibility of style design and more sophisticated detail。
2. Real cost gap
There is an open situation in the industry: hundreds of frames and thousands of frames on the market, many of which come from the same generation factory, but the logo and packaging are different。
Pure titanium frames are not very expensive, but branding and entering the malls can triple the price. The clerk will not tell you that there are 2,000 frames, and the difference between the offer and the 300-plus is not so wide。
3. Durable comparisons
While it is true that your frame is lighter, non-conformable and insensitive, it does not mean that the frame is easily broken。
A lot of $300 tr90 mirrors, which are more resistant to falling and bending than some of the high-priced metal frames, are not as strong as paint and taste。
Iii. Lighting and processing: free and professional, the gap is often ignored
The lenses are ill-sighted and uncomfortable and, apart from the lenses, light and processing accuracy is critical。
1. Photometric level
• low-cost packages: mostly computer photometric + simple plugins, completed in minutes, without visual screening, dispersive axle, high pupils, basis for pupil measurements。
• high-priced food packages: integrated light testing, eye balance, control function checks, more detailed processes, suitable for persons with high near-sightedness, high dispersible light, and eye loss with glasses。
But it also has to be objective: the general near-sighted population, the normative base light is completely adequate, not necessarily the pursuit of high-priced, fine laboratory light。
2. Process accuracy
Large branded glasses stores are more sophisticated, with smaller processing errors and better mirror installation。
Small shops are common equipment, but as long as teachers are experienced and standardised, there is no obvious discomfort in their daily wear。
Many high-priced glasses of “professional services” do have value, but they are not worth hundreds or thousands of differentials. A large part of these costs relate to the rental of premises, salaries and environmental costs。
Iv. Sold and brand premium: expensive glasses are more than just stuff
Why is it all the same, 300, 2,000? The gap remains in these invisible places。
After-sale security
High-priced glasses are generally supported: free adjustment, cleaning, replacement of small accessories, repair of noses, etc. Over time。
After most of the low-cost glasses are sold on the basis only, problems may result in additional charges。
Rental and operating costs
Glass shops in the mall, rents, renovations and labour costs are extremely high, all of which are accounted for in the sale price。
The cost of community shops, writing buildings and doors is low, and the price of the same quality is naturally more pro-people。
3. Branding and psychological value
The wearing of well-known branded glasses is an expression of image and identity for a group of people whose value is invisible and is an important reason for high prices。
The clerk rarely tells you that you spend more than half to pay for the store and the brand。
Should we choose 300 or 2000? A watch
• students, daily commuters, lower degrees: 300-500 slots are sufficient, formal brand lenses + solid frames are selected, with the highest value for money。
• high near-sightedness, high dispersing light, long-term viewing of computers, high face-to-face requirements: 800-1200 slottings are the most appropriate and do not have to run at more than 2,000。
• business people, quality perceptions and brands are demanding and willing to pay for experience: middle- and high-end brands can be chosen, but there is no need to follow the highest prices blindly。
What really doesn't have to be:
Low degrees, but with the highest refraction rate and the most expensive imported lenses, are clearly overconsumption。
Six, no holes in glasses. Remember the truth
1. The lens gives priority to the refraction rate and membrane plating, not blindly superstitioning the imported brand。
2. Light, comfortable and insensitive frames, without having to pursue high price logo。
3. The light examination must be careful, with pupils ' distance, pupils ' height and dispersive axles checked。
4. Clarify coverage, maintenance conditions and avoid additional charges at a later stage。
It is most cost-effective to adapt to their own degrees and needs。
At the end
The glasses are essentially a tool to correct the sight, but the more expensive they are, the better. 300 and 2,000 glasses do differ in material, function and experience, but not as wide as the price gap。
Many times, we spend money not for better vision, but for brands, environment, services and marketing premiums. Reasonable choices based on their own degrees, budgets and needs can be matched with truly appropriate glasses that do not cost money。
