I used to like Ray Bans, too. Then Luxotica bought them and they've never got any on my money since. I buy exclusively from Costco because they only sell non-Luxotica brand glasses for significantly cheaper.

Prescription sunglasses look identical to aviators, at a fraction of the price.

Would be great of Costco had their own brand of smart glasses

Why? Smart glasses are stupid and no one should be buying them. They are a scam and another form of constant surveillance and recording. Only now with more accurate face recognition. All hail the future police state.

did not know Costco sold exclusively non-luxo glasses - interest piqued

Sam's does the same and you don't need a membership to use the eye center for either.
