G'day Madge. I had four pairs made. All bi-focals. Three pairs clear lenses (one for home, one for work and one pair especially for computer work) and one pair sun glasses. I salvaged two of my old frames that were in real good nick (computer and work)but for some reason I cant fathom, opted for more expensive frames for my home set and sunnies. The old frames were much cheaper but really good quality and stood up to some pretty rough treatment ok.In retrospect common sense should have dictated a purchase of similar frames. All up the finished four pairs cost RP3.995,000 or A$624.00 at an exchange rate of 6400. I think that the bi focal lenses worked out at about A$85 to A$88 per pair. My medical insurance cover re-imbursed A$300.00 so all in all it worked out quite well for me. Hope this helps you.
