How can glasses from Internet vendors be so cheap? How about quality?

And as DCnDC says, the loss leader frames are so cheap, they’re basically disposable. If you can use the basic lenses, you can probably get 20 pairs for the same price as one pair of traditional glasses. So if they break? So what! Toss it and use another pair from your stash.

Sure… after I recover from the ensuing car crash…

If my frames break while I am driving (as an example) I won’t be able to see further than the steering wheel. This makes coming to a stop without ensuing mayhem… challenging.

I’ve never broken any of my lenses, I have broken frames. Sturdy frames are a requirement for me, your mileage may vary.

If having a variety of frames is important to you have at it on Zenni or WarbyParker or wherever. For me, swapping out frames on my “eyewear” is not the priority - getting something that can fit with my prescription, is durable, and have a fine-tuned fit to me is my priority. I’ve actually had the same style of frame for the past 10 years or so, so clearly having different shapes/colors/etc. is not a thing for me.
