Can anyone guide me to an online reputable place to buy eye glasses? Too many options pop up so would love any feedback on specific places used. TYIA

I just ordered some last week. I had never bought before so I asked a good friend who regularly orders for her and her husband. She told me Eye Buy Direct or Zenni were her go to places. I ended up ordering Zenni through thier app because I liked their try on feature best. Take one good selfie, look at glasses, add your favorites and then you can swipe through all the favorite frames. I found Eye Buy Direct more difficult as I had to take a picture for each pair I wanted to try. Just a note too...if you have Rakuten you can also get cash back. Not my deciding factor but every penny helps.

Zenni and clearly have a great assortment of frames and they’re cheap to

Yes for Zenni, have ordered many pairs of glasses over the past 10 years!

Zenni all the way! They are cheap so you can get a few pairs if you like.

Zen I 100%. I have bought from local retailers and they have all broke. None of my zen i glasses have ever broke and cost me 1/4 the price. Zenni hands down .

I have 2 pairs from them. Excellent quality progresssives. Can’t tell the difference between those and my $500 pairs.

Though I haven’t ordered from them in over half a decade, Zenni is a good option: their glasses look just as stylish as the big name brands and you’ll pay far, far less than you will from an optician.  
 
However, don’t expect the frames to be as strong and high quality as ones from an optician and if your vision is poor and you have an astigmatism a $5 frame from there could cost you $80+ with the prescription. That’s still far less than what you’ll pay at an optician, but it’s something to keep in mind.  
 
I should add that their quality control might be better than it used to be and if your prescription isn’t strong you can just order a bunch of backup pairs in case you break one. That’s what most people seem to do.

I've been using zenni for about 10 years now. Cheap affordable option. Just make sure of your measurements. Often I find the nose pieces need adjustment. I think most eye places in brandon will charge you for it. I'm cheap and use needlenose pliers.

I came across them on tiktok but if I remember right, they were on dragons den? They have a cool concept. You pick your base pair and then from then on, you can just order toppers to change the look of glasses whenever you want! I have my base and then I believe 3 toppers and 1 sunglasses topper  
 
I didn’t find them to be expensive but they’re not as cheap as zenni. Depends if you are looking for inexpensive glasses or just sites in general where you can buy online. It’s just a general site that I thought I’d share
