Do you buy your glasses frames online?

If so, where? Is it a discount place or not? I'm looking to buy some more frames, but I can't spend over $100 again. Anyone have good recommendations for sites where they bought glasses? Or even if you go to the store, what places are best?

I've never thought about shopping online for frames. I usually get mine at Walmart. They're pretty inexpensive.

I will try Walmart, I've heard a lot of good things about them. I went to look for glasses frames there before, but didn't find any (all were rimless pretty much, and my lenses can't go in rimless frames). But in sunglasses frames maybe they've got a better selection.

I wish you luck on your hunt. I know it can be a pain under normal circumstances to find the perfect frames. I have a small head so most the adult glasses look awful on me.

I have a problem with that too sometimes. I was getting kids glasses up until I was 17. The hard part is, I need to get big sunglasses for my vision. But they aren't going to look very good on me. So I'm trying to find close fitting ones that would work or something instead. I have the wrong face shape to wear the large 1980's style glasses.

Kelly60 posted a great site a couple weeks ago. http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php If you can believe it - glasses for under $20.00 - some as low as nine dollars. Granted you aren't going to be getting designer names but I was really impressed with what they had to offer and what I received.

Wow, I wish I had found that when I bought my first pair! Those are nice. I paid like $170 for the frames alone, and I already hate them (I'd go for totally new ones, but then I'd have to buy new lenses too). Mine are designer, but I didn't want designer, it's just all stores seem to carry. Now I want bigger frames though, and I can't seem to find them online. :( I need big sunglasses frames.
