Pearle Vision/Shopper’s Optical
People often assume that glasses at Waverley Eye Care are more expensive. I am not sure why, but that is often the assumption. The truth is, our prices our often less expensive.
Pearle Vision
Silhouette Frame $440.00
Generic non-aspheric Plastic Lens with anti-reflective coating $189.00
Total: $629.00 – $100 discount = $529.00
Waverley Eye Care
Silhouette Frame: $399
Nikon Aspheric Plastic Lenses with Anti-reflective Coating $159
Total: $558.00
I know, I know our price is more expensive, but look again. Notice I didn’t compare the same thing. The frame is the same, but I quoted a price for Nikon Aspheric lenses which have superior optics, longer lasting coatings and an unprecedented 2 year warranty against scratches and coating defects. Now I could offer a generic anti-reflective lens ($119) and our price would be $517.00, but why would I recommend you purchase a $400 frame and then give you a lens whose coatings may only last 1 year?
