Gee, are eyeglasses a regulated industry?  I don't know for
sure, but it sure looks that way: stores that sell eyeglasses
never seem to sell anything else.  I'll bet the state (NJ)
controls who can sell them and what they must do to be allowed
to do so, all in the name of consumer protection.

Do you suppose that might have something to do with the price?
