Today I visited one of the tech blogs I normally read and came across this:

Needless to say, I disagree with online eyeglass shopping. I think that great face-to-face customer service will always trump cheap online prices when it comes to buying glasses.
However, that brick and mortar store where the author got her glasses from didn't give her good service IMO. They just handed her the glasses without checking the fit. I cringe when I see opticians do this, and I'm seeing more and more of this type of poor service in many optical stores--mostly in the big chain opticals, but even in a few independent high end stores around my area as well.
With this erosion in customer service, it's no wonder increasing numbers of people are buying their eyewear online.
