Coworker used Warby Parker and ended up buying from them. They send you a box with 3 or 4 frames that you pick, you try them, send them back and they send you more until you find ones you like.
I think they also donate pairs like Tom's shoes but not sure

I bought my current pair of eyeglasses from Warby Parker and I am happy with them. $99 for frame and lenses.

There are quite a few.
BUT... most doctors won't give you your PD, which you need in order to get glasses online. They purposely withhold this information so you spend money with them.
There are printable PD rulers and other tricks to determining it, though.
ZenniOptical is a good one, but there are plenty.

Have used eyebuydirect several times. Good service, alright product.

I posted this back in February.
Zenni is great, so is Eyebuydirect. I've been using them exclusively for the last 7 years or so, and the quality of a $20 pair has consistently equalled the quality of the brick and mortar chains costing 10x as much. I buy all my computer glasses from Eyebuydirect because they will do plain plastic lenses (CR-39) which minimizes chromatic aberration but is thicker than the higher-index materials. ISTR Zenni is all higher index, though they're now offering Trivex at a more premium price; it's thinner than plastic, but still not quite as good optically.
You need to know what frame shape and size works for you. The important numbers are the frame width and height, bridge width, and temple length. You can upload a photo and try frames on virtually, which is actually pretty helpful, but you still need to now what kind of shape looks good IRL.
You will need your PD (pupillary distance), which is not strictly part of the Rx, and which some may not want to give you. However, I noticed the other day that Costco has a sign stating you will get your Rx and PD when you get an exam there.
Pros: Great quality, accurate lenses. (I have a buttload of astigmatism, so my Rx is considered difficult to make, and the locals screwed it up surprisingly regularly.)
Cons? It takes a couple weeks to get your glasses. No way to specify seg height for progressives. That said, Zenni's progressives have worked fine for me; their $60 semi-rimless pair with A/R coating and magnetic sunshades would probably be $400 or more locally. I remember paying $280 at Sam's just for lenses before I wised up.

Can you get an exam at Costco if you're not a member? If they'll promise to give me my PD when I get an exam, I'll be there tomorrow

Used Zenni and Coastal (buy contacts from them. No problems. Print out pupil distance ruler and have someone give you the measurements. Also make sure you have the right arm length. All good. Will buy all future glasses online for much less. I guess I am a jabronie
