I've used LensCrafters for my glasses and my youngest daughter's contacts. Good service. AAA discount was nice.

Yes, there are actually only about 4 frame makers. Most "designer" frames are private label runs by the big 4. Hugely profitable business. In a former life I sold vision services (disease state management) to health plans and employer groups. Learned a lot about the eye industry from hardware through surgical interventions.
