This is one hell of an expensive eye habit – wearing solid gold or gold plated glasses. It’s the price tag that will make some people feel uncomfortable.
The question some of you might be asking, is why?
Why would anyone decide to spend so much on glasses where you can get functional eyeglasses at an affordable price and still enjoy the benefits they are suppose to offer?
Well, just like some people choose to wear their most expensive jewels on special occasions, others like to wear them everyday or as often as they can.
For those without any financial restrictions, acquiring an expensive spectacle is one of the many ways, to show off their status symbol.
This is in addition to having expensive watches and sports cars. Check out the top gold lenses below.
