Many well-known brands include sunglasses as part of their product lines. Many sunglasses manufacturers also heavily promote the features and special textures of their products. Depending on the features and brand, sunglasses prices range from under $20 to several hundred dollars.
Additionally, counterfeit products exist on the market. When browsing discount stores and flea markets, you'll find vendors selling counterfeit sunglasses that look exactly like the real thing, but at a much lower price. When buying genuine brand-name sunglasses instead of counterfeits, are people paying a lot of money for just a brand name, or for a real, fundamental difference?
The biggest problem with cheap sunglasses lies in the way the lenses are made. They are simply ordinary plastic coated with a colored film. Even if the colors and frames of these counterfeits resemble certain designer brands, the actual lenses are completely different.
