We're huge fans of Warby Parker because the company offers its own line of premium eyeglass frames for men and women. They come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, colors and styles. And right now during the Warby Parker Labor Day sale, many of the company's most popular frames are on sale. 

This means you can purchase a complete pair of glasses with single vision prescription lenses starting as low as $80 (which is $15 off the unusual price). Plus, if you order two pairs of glasses at the same time, you automatically get an extra 15% off.

We recently did a full review of Warby Parker and were thrilled with the selection, high quality of the products, and the company's budget-friendly pricing. Using the company's virtual try-on feature, you can see exactly how your new glasses will look before placing your order. Or, if you want to see how the frames will look on your face in real life, Warby Parker has a home try-on service. You select five frames that are shipped directly to you. Choose the frames you like, order your eyewear online, and then return the sample frames in a pre-paid box. 

For whatever reason, if you don't like the glasses you receive, you have 30-days to return them. Shipping is free, too.

Zenni Optical offers basic and designer frames (from Adidas, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade and more), along with an extensive selection of upgrades and options, including the latest Transitions Gen S lenses, which get darker when exposed to sunlight, but fade back to clear two times faster that previous Transitions lenses. 

Even without the Labor Day sale discounts, Zenni Optical is known for ultra-low cost frames, which range in price from a mere $6.95 to $59.95 with single focus, basic prescription lenses included. Bi-focals, progressives, lens filters and coatings all increase prices; adding lenses that change color in sunlight will add about $160 to the cost, while a blue-light filter increases the cost by about $47.

Generally, if you're looking for the most basic glasses at the lowest price, Zenni is the place to shop. What we like about Zenni Optical is that shopping is easy. Quickly narrow your search through filters based on price, style, prescription, color and frame material. You're guided through lens selection, too. Most of the frames have a virtual try-on feature. 

In addition to prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses for men, women and children, Zenni Optical offers low-cost specialty eyewear for athletes, gamers and computer users, as well as FL-41 glasses for people who suffer from migraines.
