The Eyeglass Mafia

Why are eyeglasses so expensive? The answer is simple, one company not only makes them, but they also own the stores where they are sold.The company is Essilor Luxottica, and they are the maker of Ray-Ban, Oakley, and now Costa Sunglasses. They also own LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut.Keri and Jeni discuss this and Jeni's recent experience, shopping for new glasses and why the price seems to be the same, with or without insurance.
