Answer 1

Thicknes doesn't relate to price and they are stronger all rigth. Hinges and bridge are the weakest points on a frame.

Answer 2

It depends on the brand or manufacturer of the glasses. Some brands are more expensive than others. Thick frames are less breakable than thin framed glasses to an extent because the framing being so thick is structural support. This doesnt mean they are unbreakable though! Thick frame glasses are s**y!
