LPT: When seeing an optometrist, avoid being pressured to buy frames and lenses from their showroom and buy them online instead.

These are overpriced, and this practice extends from your local optometrist to outlets like Walmart or Lense Crafters. You don't need to spend $200 on frames. Find online businesses that will charge you a fraction of what these physical locations charge.

And be aware that the physical locations have the whole process of getting a new prescription down where you finish with the optometrist and the salesperson is waiting to assume you are buying frames on-site. Insist that you just want your prescription. They may try to hard sell you after that, but stick to your guns and walk out with nothing but a prescription. Big Eyeglasses is one industry you can avoid.
