Expensive glasses are expensive. There are online retailers where you can get glasses for $20 (not sure about more complicated prescriptions).

I go to this place where I can get a $50 eye test before buying them online. Only issue is that the people who do the eye tests leave out the PD number which is kinda important. If you ask them for it, they'll tell you to do it yourself or buy glasses from them. You can measure it yourself instead.
