In short the answer is cost of living. I’m sure if you were to compare many other products or services between developed and poorer nations you would find that the gap exists pretty much across the board. Training standards and education play a major role in determining certification and qualifications of the doctor/optometrist (many of which do not apply in poorer nations). As well quality control/minimum safety standards in North American/European countries will drive the cost of the finished product (glasses)
Other Questions

- Can an optician sign an Rx for contacts for an MD???
- Where can I get a good deal on Blackout cosmetic contact lenses?
- How to become an Opthamologist after becoming an Optometrist ?
- My eyes feel slightly irritated when I remove my contact lenses?
