As the title asks. I have an up to date prescription, where’s the best place to order from?

      I used to love eyebuydirect, especially the replacement warranty. But their quality is lower and needs the warranty while Zenni is less expensive for higher quality 😁

    I’m from Japan!

    Online glasses shopping is pretty common here too, and I’ve personally used Zoff (https://www.zoff.co.jp/) — they’re affordable, have lots of frame styles, and let you enter your prescription online. They also have a virtual try-on feature on their website, so you can see how the glasses look on your face before buying. Shipping within Japan is fast and reliable.

    Another unique option in Japan is Shitsuji Megane eyemirror (https://ec.eyemirror.jp/ ), which translates to “Butler Glasses.” They’re known for collaborating with anime and VTuber franchises, so it’s especially popular among fans of Japanese pop culture. Some of their designs are themed around specific characters or series — very Japan!

    I’ve been buying glasses online for decades, and have never had a problem with quality. Or really any problem at all. I’ve used EyeBuyDirect, Zenni, and others, and have always been happy. In fact, I would much rather buy glasses online than in person.

    Most of them have clever websites that let you virtually try on the frames and get an accurate view of how they will look. The frames are just fine, and the lenses are cut correctly and polished. My grandmother and my aunt were both opticians, and I have been wearing glasses since I was a kid, so I know a little about quality.

    I’ve been using SelectSpecs for 15 years. I think they drop-ship from SE Asia.

    Mostly to have a spare set, but for the last year or so they’ve been my primary pair.

    I bought mine from Zenni. Pretty good, I can recommend. Though, not sure how much the prices have increased with tariffs. Assuming you’re from the US of A this might affect you.
