It seems that Zenni has the extra cost based on the lens package and prescription strength. For example, the 1.57 index lenses have a $9 up-charge for extra strength. The lens package that you chose has a $22 mark up for prescriptions above a -10/+6 diopter. The 1.74 index lenses have no up charge and cover anything up to -13 diopter. They just started this new pricing policy when the site was updated.
