$250 a year for glasses seems high given that my $90 glasses have been fine since 2008. I do have an extra pair ($40, not titanium framed) for backup, and should get new ones to update my prescription, but $250/year?
If you hate glasses then lasik might be worth it, but I doubt it's cheaper for many people.
Yeah, it can definitely be done for cheaper. In my case going through college and such I got new frames every year or two (between breaking them or starting to hate the style..). The bigger expense was contacts, which we either didn't have insurance for or it didn't cover, coming out to 100-150/year depending on how often I lost or damaged them.
