Best eyewear stores in the GTA?

[maelyskelley]

Specifically, I'm looking for a pair of purple or brown, rectangular Marc Jacobs frames that I saw online. Has anyone seen something along these lines?

(these also come in a light amber colour)

If not, I'm just curious to know which stores have the best compromise between variety and price. I'm on a student budget, so I'm not stepping into any Yorkville shops. I browsed through torontolife.com and blogto.com, but they have a list of retailers with price ranges like $200-3000 (I need something below $200). I can afford the likes of Lenscrafters or Hakim, but I don't know about their variety.

Any suggestions?

Is your budget $200 for just frames or $200 total including frames and lenses. Price is very dependent on what type of lenses you need.

The cheapest you will probably find the specific glasses you are looking for in the GTA is here:

Whether the frames + lenses + tax will get you to the price point you need, not sure...
