Unfortunately I have now reached the age where I need varifocal glasses.

Can anyone tell me why the prices range from sublime to ridiculous? Local opticician – £500.

Two supermarkets – two pairs for £300 and two pairs for £159.

How can the prices vary so much for the same prescription and frames costing about the same?

Surely the lenses don't vary that much, do they?
