Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days? - eviltoast

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!

    Zenni will ship you a PD ruler for free and I think has a pdf of one.

    I still get eye exams at my Dr. I make sure they send me with my rx including PD.

      My wife is bad at using the pd ruler

      I feel like they have tried to tell us we couldn’t have the PD because they knew we were going to buy glasses online.

        Just ask the optician to do it for you. Or the ophthalmologist. Or whoever you’re seeing. The medical professional has a duty to give you your biological data. That’s above selling glasses.
