Short answer: As of November 2, 2026, we found no changes to starting prices, free-shipping thresholds or return windows at the online glasses stores in our price tracker since the first edition on October 22, 2026.

This page records only what changed between monthly checks. For warranties, lens details and the full fine print, see the online glasses price tracker.

How we check

Once a month we re-read each store’s own US website: the advertised “from” price, the free-shipping threshold and the refund window. We compare them with the previous edition and log any difference with the date we confirmed it. Two stores, EyeBuyDirect and GlassesUSA, block automated page checks, so we verify them by hand and note the date. We don’t place orders for this check.

Newly verified (not a change): Warby Parker’s return terms, missing from the October edition, are now in the tracker – free return or exchange within 30 days, from its help center.

”–” means the store didn’t state that figure on the pages we checked. “Glasses from” is each store’s own headline wording; some include basic lenses and some don’t, so check the tracker before comparing.

October 2026 (baseline)

Checked October 22, 2026. First edition of the tracker: 10 stores. Every later month is compared against this baseline.
