Eyewear can be expensive, which is why some customers are going online looking for a deal, like they do in many other areas of their lives. But many want to try on way more than the five trial frames some online vendors may offer. They also want instant feedback from a trusted professional, not to mention style, quality and value. These fashionable frames — all priced under $150 — fit the (lower) bill, to help you compete with you-know-who.
