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!

    How are they still only $50 for you at Zenni despite having a higher prescription? My prescription wavers back and forth in the -7 to -7.5 range and it’s always way more money than their average price to get high index lenses. I think the last time I tried plugging in my prescription it was more like $100, but I can’t recall exactly.

    Because of my strong prescription, I’m also wary of using a place like Zenni because if the lenses are made slightly imprecisely or if they don’t get the PD just right or have it fitted to my face correctly, it’s significantly more noticeable and impactful for me. Have you noticed any issues with your relatively higher prescription and buying online?

      For that I’d go with an opticians, my dad had issues with his from Zenni because they didn’t get the lenses quite right. He did have issues with his eyes though that required some complex glasswork though, so that could have contributed.
