Care for Your Eyes Well to Preserve Your Good Vision

Money-Saving Tips For Buying Designer Prescription Glasses

22 July 2019 by Ben Richardson

You have an image to uphold, and your eyewear is part of that image. Every single day your eyeglasses are visible and make up part of your image. For this reason, it's important you own glasses that are both comfortable to wear and that you like.

If you love the look of designer prescription glasses but aren't sure about the designer prices that come along with them, then these money-saving tips will help you get the glasses you want for a price you can afford to pay.

Money-Saving Tip: Order Your Eyewear Online 

Back in the day, the only place you could purchase a new pair of prescription glasses was from your optician's office. Thanks to online and discount retailers, you now have a wide selection of options when shopping for eyewear.

While the first place you should always consider is your optician's office, you should also look online to see if you can save money on your new glasses.

By taking advantage of coupon codes and special offers, you can often save a significant chunk of change by ordering online. For additional savings consider ordering your glasses on Cyber Monday or another high-volume shopping day when retailers are competing for customers.

If you do decide to order your glasses online, make sure you use a website that has a "try-on" feature where you upload a photo of your face and can see what each pair of glasses will look like.

Money-Saving Tip: Calculate the Cost of Add-Ons Before Choosing a Retailer

When you are shopping for new eyewear, it's important to take the entire cost into consideration. For example, some retailers offer very inexpensive designer frames but then charge a large fee for add-ons, such as:

• UV light coating
• anti-scratch coating
• anti-glare coating
• light-sensitive lenses

While options such as anti-glare coating are amazing for improving night vision while driving, it's important it doesn't come with an unusually high price to compensate for the lower frame cost. 

Money-Saving Tip: Opt for a Two-for-One Deal

Lastly, if you are able to find a retailer offering a two-for-one deal on new designer prescription glasses, then this can be a great way to kill two birds with one stone. By ordering two new pairs of glasses, you will have a backup pair in case your other pair become damaged and you will be able to switch up your look by alternating between two different styles.
