One of the big online retailers allows you to post your portrait. And try different frames with that. (Find What fits facial shape; pupil dead center of lense).
Eyeglasses come down to lense quality. Large differences exist.
I recommend DRIVEWEAR (now by Transitions). Seiko, Nikon or German lenses. Add antiscratch and antireflect. Top Essilor products.
I’ve worn prescription since 1964. You get what you pay for. In this instance it isn’t so much the initial expense, but how soon you’ll replace them. Lens material degradation.
You want “expensive” try higher diopter need AND bifocal. $1k is easy to hit (the frames arent the expense).
If you live in a major metro there will still be dispensing opticians with a long-term relationship with labs, etc. A rich clientele. That’s where quality will be. Start with an opthamological exam. (You DONT want the chain retailer on pad site).
You want crap, well, that’s what is mainly out there these days. “Discount”. And you’ll never know what is quality or why to insist on it. Just go back every 2-3 years.
(Never remove or install without two hands. Never place anywhere except in dedicated case. Use Dr Bronners liquid soap to clean daily. Carry liquid lense cleaner & microfiber designed for such).
