How to Get Discounts on Brand-Name Eyewear
Shopping for prescription glasses can be confusing because you may end up paying less than the list price. That’s always a nice surprise, but may cause you to think certain frames are out of reach when they really aren’t.Vision insurance will often cover a significant portion of frames and prescription lenses. Before making your purchase, try linking up your VSP, MetLife, or Cigna vision benefits with your Eyeconic account to see what you can save. Once the accounts are connected, you’ll see the price you pay on each pair while browsing the site.
