I have only just started using glasses in the past few years, and I get the cheapest frames possible. Under $40 a pair.
Something I have found really handy though is to have two sets at different focal lengths. So my money goes to an extra set of glasses over a better looking set.
One prescription at <F/l 2 and one at F/l 2.5. The slight difference in focal length is good for close in wood working to books and then screen based work at the longer focal length.
My script hasn't changed yet, but I'll have a few cheap pairs to pass onto Lions clubs etc when I do...

Ps. very few people see me wearing glasses so I don't care about the frames a great deal. But having different focal lengths has been great, a lot easier on the eyes than when I just had only the 2.5 f/l.
