Yeah, just try clearly contacts again. I used to get new glasses once every couple of years but now I think it's been every 6 months. If they don't look great then send them back, or have around the house glasses. These are my favourite pair I've ordered from them. Wasn't sure about the little symbol things on the side but they look great on my handsome handsome face.

I like the glasses I got from Clearly, but they're a little small. I've been wearing them around the house, mostly.
But they feel like they aren't adjusted properly. I just want to get a properly fitted pair, I guess.
When I did the pupil distance thing with Clearly, I was really skeptical. I measured at a 64, but I wasn't 100% sure. Goes back to seeing a professional and actually getting fitted properly, I guess.
And those frames look cool. Wouldn't on me...lol...but they look cool.

Reason: edit PD
Most brick and mortar offices have package glasses or frequent sales. The benefit is proper measurements, warranties and free adjustments.
I would recommend going into your local Optometrist's office and asking if they have any upcoming sales or do package pricing. Cut down on costs and ensure the quality.

I don't like to comment on other opticals, but you would be suprised at the prices found in private Optometry offices. Online and big chain competition has forced prices down across the board.

I'm a big fan of Eyeclectic. Their staff are excellent and they will order in any glasses they don't have in store and you're not obligated to purchase them either. I bought my most recent glasses from there after a few bad apples for Lenscrafters. They do some pretty shotty work there. PM me for issues, I'm not totally interested in dragging them through the mud, just buyer beware is all.
Clearycontacts.ca has a 30% off sale that ends today. Code is "SNAKE".
I've been meaning to get some new glasses too. I got my current pair from them for free, and they fit great. Only complaint is the black finish is wearing off. I guess you get what you pay for.
Clearly contacts, beyond the free pair, is a ripoff. They've become too big too fast and are now ripping people off.
I buy my glasses at eyebuydirect. Everything is the same as CC, but it's way cheaper. If you wait for their 2 for 1 sale (every few months it seems), you can get just ridiculous deals.
I got 2 pairs (not the cheapest glasses they offer - not even close), upgrades (thin lenses, anti-reflective, anti-scratch), and shipping all for under $40. If you don't get any upgrades, you can get two pairs for as low as $12 shipped.

Also, a hint for those complaining about sizing issues - all the stats you need (except for PD) are on the inside of one of the arms of the glasses.
PD is easy too - I measured it myself, then had 2-3 other people measure it and I averaged the values. About a year later I had an eye exam and found my PD on the lens machine thingy and it was exactly what I had calculated.

When I was considering clearly contacts, my "free first pair" came to something like $70. To get anything nice, it was $150 or more. Certainly not "no worries if you don't like them" kind of prices.
I got mine from Lens Crafters and was very happy with them. Wore my first pair for about a week and just didn't like them so I switched frames, my new frame was $20 cheaper so they gave the difference back to me. 8 months later my dog thought it would be a good idea to chew up my frames and because I bought the insurance I once again was able to get a new set for no charge.
I usually go to one of two places, Brass Monacle and Eyeclectic... they both are a little more expensive but for something I wear every day I am willing to put in a few more bucks to get the right fit and styles. The customer service at both have been outstanding.
