Why this deal matters
The last time I bought a brand-new pair of prescription glasses, it cost me $1,200. Yes, you read that right. New frames, special lenses, blue-light blocking and transition all ran up my bill. And though FSA dollars knocked some of it off, because my son wears glasses too, we were left paying a chunk out of pocket. Like a fool, I purchased my glasses off the rack at the optometrist. Don’t be like me. At minimum, order your frames online and have your optometrist fill the lens portion. Eyeglasses.com has so many great options, and these coupon codes are just added perks.
