Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days?

I’ve been going to VisionWorks but I want to shop around this time. I don’t want to go to any Luxottica store.

I’ve never bought online. Is that a good option now? How do you know how the glasses are going to look on you?

Thanks for any ideas.

ETA: Thanks everyone. Great tips and info!

Do you mean pupillary distance? It isn’t part of the written prescription when I get my exam, but if you ask they usually don’t have a problem giving it to you. When you’re ordering Zenni just has a field where you enter the number they give you for PD. They also have instructions for DIY PD measuring, but that seemed too error-prone to me.

No, it isn’t PD.
