Yes! Your 10$ and 600$ are made in the same place by the same company with largely the same materials.

I discovered goodr recently and they are great. 25$ high quality sunglasses that I can actually trust have real UV ratings. Seeing people wear ray bans or oakleys is really funny

and when you inevitably lose your goodrs, nbd, just get another set for $25

Thankfully in the EU you are not even allowed to sell sunglasses without proper UV protection, and can just pick up sunglasses from any market and trust they are fine, if a little flimsy.

EDIT: ok apparently anywhere else than the poorest of countries, too, really.

you're correct it is luxotica all the way down.

The difference is that oakley are sports glasses, which means that meta can now start sponsoring sports events, which they couldnt do with rayban.

whats interesting, is that these glasses look normal, and not like the standard disphit magnets that oakley normally cater for

Sorta. Oakley makes a lot more than just sunglasses and as far as I know does plenty of R&D in house.
