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've gotten my glasses at Walmart for years.

May not be as cheap as those online places, but at least they have glasses that dont look like they belong on a chainsmoking grandmother in the 1970s, lol.

Also, what really sold me on Walmart is that a couple times while traveling I had an accident with my glasses..took them to the local wal-mart and they fixed them without issue, just asked "You got these from walmart?" and "Would you say you got them in the past few years?"

Yep to both, and they go into the back, fix them, give'm back, no charge and i go about my business being able to see again.
