Not sure of the politics of it or why the industry needs regulation. If we have an inexpensive online option for ordering glasses, which we do, then the brick and mortar stores will need to become more competitive to survive. Consumers win. I'm sure a number of stores will eventually close but that is the nature of business. Compete or die. I don't see how it is "unfair" any more than any other industry. Prior to the online option, prices crept up because people wanted convenience and when you bought frames you also paid in part for the store lease, electricity, staff etc.
