The second best time to get yourself a second pair of glasses or a nice pair of prescription shades is when your current pair breaks. The best time is during Black Friday, especially if you're like me and need lenses that are a little more complicated than most. Eyebuydirect has been a great place to get reasonably prices frames and lenses for a while now, but for Black Friday you can save 50% on prescriptions lenses with additional discounts on loads of different frames.Â
The hardest part for you today won't be finding the best deal, it'll be finding the pair that looks best on you before this deal expires.Â
In addition to its 50% off lens offer, Eyebuydirect has a couple of different frame discounts available. You can find up to 30% off name brand frames, but if you need more than one pair today you'll find a couple of buy one, get one for 25% off promotions across the site.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.Â
Additionally, all purchases this weekend have an extended 30-day free return window, so if it turns out these frames aren't quite what you thought you can try again.Â
Why this deal matters
Eyebuydirect already has a reputation for offering some of the better prices on tons of different frames, but the big thing that keeps a lot of folks coming back is the try on feature. Many eyewear sites offer some form of camera-based try-on system that uses your phone or laptop to show you what frames will look like on your actual face, but Eyebuydirect's software does a better job than most when it comes to making sure the virtual glasses are the right size.
If you only have to buy once without needing to make multiple returns and you can save a little cash in the process, this discount suddenly becomes a pretty great option.Â
Will there be a better deal on Cyber Monday?
While Eyebuydirect has announced a separate Cyber Monday sale, it's going to be exactly the same as its current Black Friday offer. There's no reason to expect better discounts in a couple of days, the great prices you see now will return on Monday and then likely disappear until a some time next year.Â
