If you are looking *no pun intended* for a way to afford that pair of glasses that you have kept putting off, either for lack of available funds or fear of looking totally "not cool", look no further than
Clearly Contacts (
Coastal Contacts in the US).
I am one of those people that have almost always needed glasses, but hated the way I looked with them. Flashbacks to when I was 12 and looked like a "four-eyed" nerd *shudder*. It was not a cute look. Then it became a matter of deciding between glasses and contacts - the latter of which I chose. I got tired of the contacts though, tired of losing one in the car while putting the finishing touches on my makeup while going to a club. Tired of ripping them accidentally. Tired of feeling like I had a piece of glass embedded in my eye, when it really was just a tiny fleck of dust. Tired of the cleaning. Just
TIRED of everything associated with them!
Then glasses became somewhat of a chic thing to wear. It became an accessory. People that didn't even need glasses were sporting them without prescription lenses.
Now how was I going to get a pair when lenses usually run over $100 and then the frames ran over $100? My budget would not allow it!
Then I found Clearly Contacts....
Clearly Contacts is the leading eyeglass online retailer in Canada. I remember the days years ago when I used to see their advertisements and see the infamous words, "
Get Your 1st Pair FREE!" and thinking to myself, "Yeah right. There has to be a catch".
Well, 1 day, about 2 years ago, those words were emblazoned on my computer screen as an ad on a website, and I clicked to see what the heck this company was trying to get out of people.
5 minutes of skimming through the site, I realized they weren't trying to get ANYTHING.
It isn't a scam. There are no secret contracts where you have to buy one now, and obligating you to buy more later.. eh, hem Columbia House...eh hem. You literally get your first pair free. The only thing you have to pay for is shipping and handling, which was around $15 for me in Toronto, as well as any special coatings you require such as anti-reflective, scratch resistance, etc. Even those items are cheap - you can bundle and get the entire package for like $20 max!
You do have to be aware of the fact that if you need special lenses or want ultra-thin lenses - because you're "too cool for school", or you suffer from astigmatism - you do pay an additional amount. But it will STILL be way less than you would pay through your optician. Those that just need a basic pair of regular lenses can enjoy their first pair free, free, FREE!
When I tell people about this, they usually are very skeptical, but I can say I have been responsible for about 20 purchases that were made from people at work when they finally looked into themselves! I personally have purchased about 7 pairs of glasses - including these Fendi ones for $16.99 (after my $20 referal credit was applied:
Today, I grabbed this pair of Guess glasses for an unbelievable $12.90 (thanks to another $20 referral credit)!!:
It's Cyber Monday. They are offering
free shipping and handling,
free coatings bundle, and
up to 60% off of frames. Yeah. Seriously.
The frame selection is amazing - frames for the whole family. They offer contacts at competitive prices. You have nothing to lose, except for maybe $15. Did I mention they have a 365 day return policy?
