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’ve used Zenni before and they’re decent if you don’t go for the absolute cheapest frames. There’s usually enough reviews with pictures from others to get an idea of how they look. But if OP is very specific about looks then trying in store somewhere is really the only option.

The savings from buying online are too good to pass up for me. My last prescription pair from Zenni was $55USD which I’m still using a couple years on. The exchange rate was better back then but for $400 OP could probably get 4 pairs of glasses.
