Yeah, the price of glasses matters too. Even someone with continually worsening eyes who buys two pairs a year won’t spend $250/year if they only buy $90 glasses. But it’s quite easy to spend, say, £200 on a pair of glasses, and if you do that annually you’ll burn through $300 per year!
If you’re getting $90 glasses then to spend $2500 over ten years you need to go through nearly 30 pairs. That sounds high.
Not to mention the discount rate—Lasik is $2500 now, while $90 ten years from now is less than $90 now.
