Almost all of the frames you see online OR IN THE MALL are made in China -- even if they say "Japan Design" or "Designed in Italy". This is almost certainly the case with all of the frames you'll find for $50 or less. There is one American company left, Shuron (http:// shurons.com), but they start at about $70 and have a distinctly retro feel -- that I love.
The other option is spending $500 to $XXXX and getting something meticulously hand crafted by a blind monk in the foothills of the Alps. As for dispensing, Zenni, Optical4Less, and many others are done in China. 39DollarGlasses are on Long Island. EyeBuyDirect is in Maryland (I think) and Goggles4U processes most (if not all) of their orders in Pakistan. Good luck. - Ira http://glassyeyes.com On Sep 6, 9:57 am, Aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am need new glasses soon, but I don't want to buy stuff from China. > I've looked online, but haven't been able to find anything except > eyeglassdirect.com, which says the order is "processed and shipped" in > the US, but not where the frames are made. > > What are the countries that make the 5% that aren't made in China, and > what are the brands that are made there?
