Where do you buy your glasses online from?
I have never bought glasses before, my eye sight has only been getting bad the past two years.
I am 23 and I would like suggestions on where to buy quality glasses online. I do not want to buy anything that is more than 125$.
I am pretty sure that I can get lenses put in at wallmart, target, or at the optometry school that is across the street from my college.
Has anyone ever bought glasses online and had the lenses put in somewhere else? How do that work exactly?
My insurance doesn't cover eye care for some reason. Any links or general advice would be appreciated.

I've used Zenni Optical (thanks to quite a few recommendations) and I've been very happy with them.
You can buy just the frames, but it's actually cheap to buy the lenses from them too. You need to get a full written prescription from an optometrist (including your pupillary distance, which may cost extra, but you'll save money over getting the lenses at a physical eyeglass store)
I have a very high prescription and usually need to spend over $600 for one pair of glasses (frames + lenses). At Zenni I bought 3 complete pairs for $220, and the quality is definitely as good as glasses bought in person.

I go to the optical shop at WalMart for prescription glasses. I paid $15 each for the last three sets of frames. That was the cash price, not insurance. I'm pretty sure that they will not sell you lenses to match frames that you got somewhere else.
