Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days? (lemm.ee)

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!

You're not wrong. I would say they're functional junk. They're definitely cheap, but they work about as well as any other glasses ever have, 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.
