Can also vouch for Zenni, have gotten my last few prescription glasses from there. Only thing you gotta be aware of is the size of the glasses you're getting

Do reading glasses count? I just buy mine at the pharmacy.
I’ve been in a rough spot lately, so my glasses are about 8 years old now. Hopefully I can get some insurance this year to get a new prescription, at which point I’ll be shopping wherever it’s cheapest and insured!
Local optometrist.
I did buy some sunglasses online from EyeBuyDirect, but they cost about as much as they would have at the optometrist. That is, after adding on the coatings and things that I want.
The frames definitely felt cheaper than the nicer name brand frames. But theyve held up for when I use them in the car.

Firmoo almost exclusively. Really cheap glasses that look and feel pretty good. And they have my prescription on file so when I inevitably lose my or my wife's glasses reordering is a breeze.
Whatever is convenient for the exam and first pair of frames/lenses are covered by my insurance so I'll do those at the exam place.
After that, Zenni.
I’ve been looking for a new website. I need XL frames as I have a wide face and it’s almost impossible to find decent frames.
