At some level yes, having multiple pairs defeats the *low price*
purpose of getting glasses online. But it also is exactly because we
have low cost options that we can assemble an eyeglass wardrobe.
Think about it this way. You've *already* ordered two pairs. Get the
recommended spare pair for each and you're up to 4 pairs. Throw in
sunglasses and you're up to at least 5. Since you have to buy at
least 20 pairs to equal the $1K you quoted in your above message,
you're still ending up a LOT cheaper, and yet you have a lot more
options.
I'll just say it this way. We look forward to seeing your wardrobe grow. :)
