Where are you guys buying your eye glasses from? I could use a new pair. Years back I would go to Pacific Mall. My last pair was from LF Warehouse. Just looking for some recommendations. Anyone have luck with online retailers? How does the sizing/fitment work?

@Tasty, thanks I'll check out Optic Zone

@Simon, how's the experience buying online? Not knowing anything about it I'm imagining it'll be weird for me being someone who tries on many styles until I find one that I like.

i've ordered online from both Clearly and Zenni optical. Clearly's prices went up so thats why i ordered from Zenni.

I used to buy cheapest of the cheap and have pair's everywhere. Over the last few years I've been wearing my glasses way more often and I used to so the need for mulitple pairs stashed everywhere isn't as much of a concern. I won't leave the house now without my glasses actually so its hard to forget them at home now.

Zenni was mad cheap, you upload a photo of yourself so you can virtually try them on. IMO it worked well enough but I didn't really put too much emphasis on glasses until recently. Plus back then I was paying out of pocket for my glasses so naturally I wanted as cheap as possible. Now I would prefer to physically try them on so I can judge how much they weigh on my face and and pinch on my nose. For the price of online it might be worth a shot if you've never ordered online before.

Yea I've never really bought cheap pairs but I am kinda intrigued by the whole online model.

Are the Korean ones thin? I'm blind AF so cheap lenses usually are thick AF lol
I've been using Nikons for about a decade now. The clarity was drastic, but mind you that was 10 years ago LOL

I don't need them that thin so maybe that's why. Worth asking about the next time around.
