Optical glasses store recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a optical store in Oshawa, or somewhere in Durham which offers Buy One, Get One free, or a discounted second pair of glasses?

My work insurance will only cover ONE pair of glasses regardless of the price, but I need prescription sunglasses as well... I need a place that will do some sort of deal for the second pair. I already have a current prescription so I don't need an eye exam. Any suggestions?

Costco is hands down the best deal in the region.

Try Walmart, I know a bunch of people who got a great deal there

But is it the best service? Went there once and never again. Was a young person who didn’t seem to know anything about glasses at all. I ended up with frames that gave me a headache.

The reviews I have heard are overwhelmingly positive. I’m sure just like anywhere else it depends on which particular location you go to though

I've ordered from Zenni Optical online for the past few years. They offer prescriptions and everything for a very, very good price. If your work accepts online orders, you can't go wrong with the prices you'll find.

Transition glass that changes the tint automatically performs well now a days. Your mileage may vary depending on the condition. (like in a vehicle)

My partner raves about Revere Optical. From my limited experience there i can tell that the entire staff are gems

Order your backup glasses online, that’s what I do. Zenny or other places get you great backup lenses/frames for $30. (Keep in mind they are great for the $30 price tag).

Hakim in the oshawa mall is run by a nice lady. The one tauton is a joke. Oshawa mall has a few good places
