Glasses, Contacts & Vision Deal Watch

Why this is recommended

A $100 rebate on an annual contact supply, a Warby Parker or Zenni sale timed to an FSA deadline, or a prescription release rule enforced at an optometrist each returns the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 166 million American adults who wear glasses or contacts and buy replacements every year or two.

When it runs

Online eyewear retailers run sales around FSA deadlines in December and March, contact lens rebates change quarterly, and FTC eyeglass and contact lens rules are enforced year-round

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Eyeglass and contact lens sales and rebates with price history, FTC Eyeglass Rule and Contact Lens Rule enforcement on prescription release, online vision test and prescription renewal rule changes, FSA and HSA eligibility for vision products, contact lens recalls, retailer price and policy changes, and vision insurance allowance and network changes, with the retailer and the discount first.

Track eyewear buying for US consumers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: sales of 25 percent or more and rebate programs at Warby Parker, Zenni, EyeBuyDirect, GlassesUSA, LensCrafters, Costco Optical, Walmart Vision, 1-800 Contacts, Contacts Direct and Lens.com with end dates; manufacturer rebates from Acuvue, Bausch + Lomb, Alcon and CooperVision with amounts and deadlines; FTC Eyeglass Rule and Contact Lens Rule enforcement actions and guidance; state law changes on online vision tests and prescription renewals; FDA contact lens and solution recalls; FSA and HSA eligibility changes for vision products; and VSP, EyeMed and Davis Vision allowance, network and plan changes. Prefer retailer, manufacturer rebate, FTC, FDA, state and insurer sources; ignore affiliate coupon sites. Put the retailer and the discount first in the title. Use high severity for a rebate deadline within 14 days, a recall, or an FSA deadline within 30 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for the deal or rule, who it fits, the deadline, how to claim, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
