Depends on prescript: Depends on the complexity of the prescription. The more myopic or near-sighted or more astigmatism correction in the prescription the more expensive. If you add tint, progressives, or type that gets darker when you go outside the added expense.

Varies: Eyeglasses are very complex, and the price depends on many factors. The type of frame used, the material of the lenses, the coatings of the lenses, whether a lens is single or multifocal are examples of factors that determine the cost.

Variable: In addition to the other aswer you should be an informed consumer. For normal eyeglass prescriptions there can be a wide variance in price depending on competition and zipcode. Shop the price ike a car or major appliance. Does the price include breakage if it is for an active younster. Will this be used for athletics. These can also affect pricing. Be informed.

Depends!: Depends on your prescription, brand of frames, brand of lenses, and extra features ( transitional lenses, progressive lenses, coatings, prisms, etc.). Sorry, but there is no real answer to your question. It's like buying a car.... Year, make, model, color, hybrid, fully loaded, navigation system, etc. The more you add, the more the price goes up.
