    Check out Zenni. For the price of a pair from your optometrist, you can get like 5+ pairs of good quality glasses.

    Source: I buy 10 pairs at once because I’m always stepping on them.

      That’s actually who I had my insurance reimburse me through for the frames lol.

      There were a couple other decent sites but I found my look on there the best.

      Unfortunately my head is gigantic, both metaphorically and literally so finding wide enough glasses is a pain. Been getting the usual post frame change headaches with both XL pairs.

        If they’re wire frames you could try to bend them to fit around your head better. Or get a place that sells glasses to help you out (some will if you ask nicely)

          Yeah bending my frame arms has pretty much always been what I had to do. It just feels bad to do. Depending on how bad the metal is it’s likely to snap too.

          It’d just be nice to have a pair of $150 glasses and lenses to actually fit rather than pretend everyone has the same damn face size lol.
