I live in a small town, one eye doctor. There is a year to 18 month wait for an appointment. I kept putting it off saying I would make an appointment in the city. I finally did it. My prescription has vastly changed.

I went into to Costco to see about getting lenses. My last pair of glasses I brought the frames, and Costco make lenses for them. However when I went Wednesday I encountered the nastiest, rudest Costco employee I have ever met in 24 years of being a member.

I left empty handed. I looked online, with new frames, it is going to be about $400 (and I need to get readers too) for polarizing lenses. I have never bought lenses online, either I get them from my eye doctor, or Costco. Really rather nervous about ordering them, but not sure I want to go back to Costco.

ETA: I am in the states

    I’ve had good luck with https://www.muukal.com/, and they often have a 3 pairs for $119USD sale; you do have to pay extra for coatings. The last time I bought there, my total for 3 pairs was $156USD, and I had the glasses in under a month.

      All the frames I liked are out of stock, but my wife is having good luck with stuff. Thanks for the suggestion.
