There are so many different frames, lenses, coatings, etc., that it's nearly impossible to compare apples with apples. I have been using Flexon titanium frames for over 20 years with great results. I have had excellent lenses and also had some bad ones placed in those frames. I can't remember the name of the company but they are in Buffalo Ridge area, that is where I bought my last set 4 years ago and they are still excellent. I have a new prescription so I'm going back there on Friday to order my new ones, I generally get two pairs, regular and sun glasses.

Zenni.com
Ask your eye doctor for your pupil distance (pd). Or, follow the instructions on Zenni's site to measure it. Love the virtual try-on feature.

Walmart. Good selection of frames and they get the lenses ground, probably by one of the same lens grinding services used by the more expensive glasses botiques. And lots less expensive.

Sam’s are the best deal out there. Will remake lenses in first 90 days if not happy. My mother couldn’t navigate progressive bifocal lenses, so they made new lenses with regular bifocal lenses. If frame breaks for any reason they replace for free. That is good up to a year and they don’t charge for “insurance “. Just the best deal around IMHO.

Zenni Optical online. About 1/3 the cost of a retail store.

I’ve used Warby Parker for single vision lenses. Some of the reviewers said their lenses got lots of scratches. Sure enough, mine did as well. They had all the same features as glasses I’ve gotten from other companies which never had those scratches. I am not careless at all with my glasses so there was no reason for scratches other than the glasses are cheaply made

You need to provide online companies with your pupil distance (PD), which is the distance in millimeters between your pupils. It is easy to do yourself, or you can ask an optical store to measure it with a handheld machine. It only takes a few seconds and most of them will do it for free. I had mine measured at Sam's Club.

I could not believe the prices that googles4u were selling glasses, so I gave them a try, it takes about 10 days to get them, but I purchased 100% Titanium frames and my prescription with coated lenses. Bifocals for less than $90. Their service is wonderful, guarantee against (I dropped them and broke the plastic lenses, told them it was my fault, sent pictures and they sent me another pair at no charge, they even paid for the shipping, very good people
