I’ve been going to VisionWorks but I want to shop around this time. I don’t want to go to any Luxottica store.

I’ve never bought online. Is that a good option now? How do you know how the glasses are going to look on you?

Thanks for any ideas.

ETA: Thanks everyone. Great tips and info!

    I got one pair from Zenni and they were junk, definitely “get what you pay for” level crap.

    I got my most recent pair from Eyeconic just because it’s connected to my insurance company somehow, and even though it cost around twice as much I’m definitely more than twice as satisfied with them.

      You’re not wrong. I would say they’re functional junk. They’re definitely cheap, but they got my prescription spot-on , and it took me like 4 months to notice the slight warping on the lens. If they weren’t all I can afford, I would buy from elsewhere, but they aren’t the worst thing I’ve had to compromise on for price. I wish my cheap junker car worked as well as these glasses.

      I’ve pretty much purchased glasses exclusively from Zenni for the last 8 years or so. They have frames that every level, but they’re cheap enough that you can just try different frames till you find the ones you want. I’m pretty cheap, so I order the $8 frames. And now I’ve settled on a style I like and I just reorder it every time. So I’ve got a drawer full of zenni glasses now.

      Being inexpensive is a good thing, that way I can have throw away glasses for trips and backups and backups and backups. And an extra pair for the car and an extra pair for the other car. Cheap is amazing
