Comparing notes on lenses for my eyeglasses.
The local place I normally go (which has good service) is $49 for
plastic lenses plus $58 for anti-reflection coating.  (I think it's the
middle of 3 grades of coating, if that means anything).  There is
nothing special about my prescription.

Is that comparable to what you pay?  I checked the walmart website but
couldn't find any prices.

The extreme low end is a lot cheaper than that.

Others have listed them. Obviously more convenient for us to use the ones in
HongKong etc.

 So it's $107 for the lenses or does that include the frames too? I usually
use:

I recycle my frames. You can't do it with plastic very well.
