But with more fashion-forward brands than ever offering online storefronts, trusted brick-and-mortar opticians launching web shopping platforms and the industry as a whole embracing the idea, it\u2019s easy to get that new look or prescription with a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But while a wider variety, ultimately, benefits the online eyeglasses shopper, it makes it harder to determine which retailers are worth buying from. We get it. Many of us here at CNN Underscored often rely on these same online retailers for new glasses (and we\u2019d be lying if we said we didn\u2019t also buy the\u00a0best sunglasses\u00a0online too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we decided to test a total of 23 of the most popular online prescription glasses retailers. We spent months shopping, measuring, ordering and wearing the results for work, workouts and everyday use. In the end, we found four we recommend as the best online prescription glasses, whether you\u2019re looking to save money, hoping to find something specific or wanting access to the widest range of styles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Berk\/CNN Underscored The best online prescription glasses we tested Best online prescription glasses:\u00a0Eyebuydirect Best budget online prescription glasses:\u00a0Zenni Best online prescription activewear glasses:\u00a0Roka Best online prescription glasses with virtual try-on:\u00a0Target Optical Ordering a pair of glasses online used to be something you did as a last resort, a way to pick up a\u00a0budget pair\u00a0or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[28,29,30,25,26,27],"class_list":["post-190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-glasses-news","tag-eyebuydirect","tag-glasses","tag-prescription-glasses","tag-roka","tag-target-optical","tag-zenni"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=190"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190\/revisions\/192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shadyrays-sunglasses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
