Why this deal matters
The last time I bought brand new prescription glasses it cost me $1200. Yes, you read that right. New frames, specialty lenses, blue light blocking, and transition all increased my bill. And while FSA dollars offset some of it, because my son also wears glasses, we had to pay some out of pocket. Like a fool, I bought my glasses off the rack at the optometrist. Don’t be like me. At a minimum, order your frames online and have your optometrist fill the lens portion. Glasses.com has so many great options, and these coupon codes are just added benefits.
