One of my co-workers always had a new pair of well fitted glasses on every week, and I found out she was buying them online for like $20-$40 a pair. At first I was apprehensive about the fit and quality of the glasses, but after buying a few test pairs they really are just like the store brands.

She bought a new pair every week? What a waste of money. Consumerism at its worst.

As long as they weren't throwing them out, it's no worse than having different pairs of shoes/earrings/hats and alternating between them. Glasses can be an accessory.

https://www.zennioptical.com/ is what my wife uses. She pays for all the special coatings, anti glare, anti oil. Ends up being about 50$ a pair. She loves them, and I think they look cute.

I've used firmoo, zenni and warby parker. Warby parker is more on the expensive end but they have a store nearby and are still cheaper than a normal optical store.
