I bought from Walmart before. As far as I know they don't use Luxottica. Both pairs I had from there lasted me many years and were cheap. I can't say I recommend them though since it would be supporting Walmart.

Online you have to know sizes and what not, you can get a vague idea what it will look like on you, they let you use your phone camera or webcam to get a better idea. But you can't beat the prices, glasses in the US are ridiculously priced.

Do reading glasses count? I just buy mine at the pharmacy.
Can also vouch for Zenni, have gotten my last few prescription glasses from there. Only thing you gotta be aware of is the size of the glasses you're getting

As long as you know your perscription (the three numbers) Glassesusa.com is where its at. Never had an issue with them really. If you have a big head make sure to order large frames. The medium frame is a little tight for me but I actually like that my glasses aren't slipping off my face cobstantly which had always been an issue.
We've tried online but had bad luck figuring out the PD number at home. Not sure if anyone has tips to measure it more accurately
There are apps that will scan your face and tell you your PD

Iβve been in a rough spot lately, so my glasses are about 8 years old now. Hopefully I can get some insurance this year to get a new prescription, at which point Iβll be shopping wherever itβs cheapest and insured!
I got one pair from Zenni and they were junk, definitely "get what you pay for" level crap.
I got my most recent pair from Eyeconic just because it's connected to my insurance company somehow, and even though it cost around twice as much I'm definitely more than twice as satisfied with them.
I've pretty much purchased glasses exclusively from Zenni for the last 8 years or so. They have frames that every level, but they're cheap enough that you can just try different frames till you find the ones you want. I'm pretty cheap, so I order the $8 frames. And now I've settled on a style I like and I just reorder it every time. So I've got a drawer full of zenni glasses now.
Being inexpensive is a good thing, that way I can have throw away glasses for trips and backups and backups and backups. And an extra pair for the car and an extra pair for the other car. Cheap is amazing
