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 too am an absolute pedant but with zenni optical you can see all the dimensions in mm (frame height, width, etc etc) and filter by them too.

So I measure glasses I already own, and then go for other glasses that are the exact same size and similar shape. It takes a lot of sorting through results but at the end of the day I can come out with glasses that cost $20 instead of $220.
