For my most recent prescription, I ordered 5 pairs from Zenni. I keep a pair in the car and in every room in my house. If a pair breaks, I throw it away. At a local store, I would have paid the same price for just one pair. I have found that special coatings are overrated, but the frame size and weight are important for comfort. Zenni lists the exact size and weight of every frame. Stores provide some, but not all of this information, and they ususally only offer one size for each style they sell.
