Towards the end of the school year, the kids had eye exams at school. Aaron’s exam had some red flags, so it was recommended that we see an Optometrist for a full examination. He and I went in last week for our appointments, and the Optometrist indicated that Aaron would, in fact, need to order a pair of glasses. I was pretty nervous, because he is on the Autism Spectrum, and any changes to his normal routine causes some problems. We have the normal worry of him losing or damaging of the glasses as well. Our vision insurance plan covers a good percentage of the cost of glasses, with a co-pay and a set dollar amount they will pay towards frames (every 2 years) and lenses once per year. Even with that plan, it was going to cost us around $75 for a basic pair of glasses at the Optometrists office. I knew that there were discount places we could order from, so I decided to shop around before purchasing a pair.
I was very fortunate to hear about an upcoming sale at JCPenney Optical on children’s glasses the same week of our appointments. From July 28-Aug 31st, JCPenney Optical is offering a COMPLETE pair of kids’ designer eyeglasses for just $25!!! That’s less expensive than our vision insurance copay! The offer includes:
- Any kids frames up to $120 (you can pay any overage, but at our location most were within that range)
- FREE impact & scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses ($90 under our insurance)
- FREE UV Protection
- FREE eyeglass protection plan for any school-aged child 16 & under.
*Note: Ask your JCPenney Optical associate for details about the eyeglass protection plan for your purchase. Our associate indicated it came with a $24 frame replacement copay and 10% lens cost replacement copay, so we opted to just purchase 2 pairs of glasses that day, for a total of $50 for two complete pairs of glasses.
