Our prices
Glasses that don’t cost the earth
Prescription glasses prices really shouldn’t be so high. But somehow, we end up paying ridiculous prices. At Dresden, we believe the highest standard of optical quality shouldn’t be expensive – it should be the norm, and accessible to everyone, not just those with deep pockets.
All prices are for a complete set of glasses: that is, Dresden frames with precision German-designed lenses.
We’re open about our prices because we have nothing to hide. We like to think of it as glasses made transparent.
All prices are in Australian dollars.
