Unless you're completely price sensitive or completely brand or specific style dedicated, I think this is totally wrong.

I tried a number of different companies online during off years (I have insurance that pays for glasses every two years). Warby Parker, Zenni, glasses.com and a few others.

Warby Parker glasses were junk. With the exception of glasses.com, adjustments required paying or scamming someone into adjusting them for me. The money savings were minimal compared to retail if you shop around at all.

This time I went to an actual optometrist and bought glasses through them. The cost was competitive and the process completely hassle free.

Same here. I get my prescription through insurance and go to Costco for glasses.

Great customer service, frame selection and very competitive pricing. I can buy $10 glasses online or $60 from Costco.

I spend the extra money for the quality and service. It is, after all something you use everyday.
