Where to get new glasses (self.wellington)

My current spectacles are getting a bit bent out of shape, so I'm looking to get some new ones.

My last few pairs have been through SpecSavers, but they've ended up wearing out in similar ways. Could easily relate to a pattern of mistreatment on my part, but I'm keen to try somewhere else anyway.

Where do you guys suggest around the city? Ideally still budget friendly (would like to stick around $400 if possible), but open to all suggestions.

I pretty much only take off my glasses to sleep and shower. In a sense, they're part of my face, so I'd rather get a pair I feel good about.

Fair enough. I've typically only used specsavers and never really liked them, so can't really suggest anything.

Thinking about it though, it sounds like your frames are wearing out. Can you get new frames and use the existing lenses to save some money?
