Okay, I'm going to go against the grain here and say "Don't go with the really cheap online glasses".
I used eyebuydirect, Zenni, and a couple of others for many years, and was pretty happy with them, especially for the price. However, one thing I'd always noticed is that they'd wind up being pretty beat up with some large scratches in the coatings, or they'd just fail and start flaking off by around the 1 year mark (I'm pretty hard on my glasses, tbf) and I absolutely had to get new ones. I just kind of accepted that I was very hard on my glasses, and that's what happens.
However, I started going to Costco just because my insurance wouldn't cover any of the online places, and the quality of the lenses and coatings are absolutely night and day. I've had 10 pairs now (sunglasses and normal lenses), and only had one with a single scratch in the lenses, after having them go flying across a cement floor due to me doing something quite stupid.
I don't think you need a membership for their optical center either, but I'm not 100% sure.
I've had the exact opposite experience. Last time trying glasses at a local place, they hurt my eyes and couldn't figure out how to adjust them properly. Every pair I've purchased on Zenni has lasted multiple years of me sleeping in them or doing contact sports in them. I still have multiple pairs kicking around my house or car as spares.
...you sleep with them on? How?
I do this quite a bit too. I can fall asleep insanely quickly, so sometimes I'm just chilling on the couch watching something, and then I'm out. Then when I wake up I have to go digging through my couch to figure out where the heck my glasses went
See that's the weird part. They stay on my face. I've always been a restless sleeper, and I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I learned to keep them on when asleep.
I've been making an active effort to not do so the last... Couple of years I guess. It's a bit more comfortable when I remove them, but I'd say maybe half the time I still just forgot to take them off.
I don't know, I have since I was a kid. My eyes are REALLY BAD so I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I just learned to sleep in them.
