The glasses mafia in France


I think we've got it pretty good here in Australia where medicare pays for part of a prescription lens :)

Dunno, I don't wear glasses.

Sounds pretty rough in France though!
 
Wow, 600€ for new glasses is insane. I payed 130€ for my new glasses (germany).
 
Ca 300 €hear in Germany for glasses and a titanflex nose bycicle from eschenbach

Mybe these french customers should just drive to the border near glass shops hear in west germany....
 
Someone recently started a company in France (Lunettes pour Tous) with the intent to drive prices down. 
Its concept is just to buy cheap products from the same Chinese companies that luxury brand buy from, but to sell them without the high markup the luxury brand usually go for.
 
 
My health insurance covers $300. Conveniently, after tax, my last pair of glasses cost... $300.  My dad's health insurance covers $200, and his always cost $200.  I'm certain this is just a coincidence.
 
Remember me of doctors around here who ask me if I have a good health insurance before telling me how much I owe them.
