    I have a stupid question, please don't yell at me. Do you need a prescription to buy these or is that just the type of sunglasses?

    • adr8 on 16/11/2015 - 22:55

      The discount looks like it is for prescription only, but to answer your question you can buy them without a prescription as Ray-Ban make two models of the same style.

      Ray-Ban's prescription glasses start with the letters RX ie RX5121, if you wanted to buy the same model of sunglasses without a prescription you would buy from their normal sunglasses line with the letters RB in front of that same model number ie RB5121.

      You definitely need a prescription.
      It might be worth getting your eyes checked anyway, and getting a prescription pair. They'll probably write you up as +/- 0.25, which is almost imperceptible.

      • BartholemewH on 17/11/2015 - 00:49

        The additional cost of good quality prescription lenses would annihilate the 50% discount vs non prescription glasses.

          But then many people would get a rebate from their health insurance would they not?

          Frame: $250
          + Lens: $250
          = $500

          x 50% discount

          = $250
          - $240 health insurance rebate

          =$10 total cost (win!?)

          Do these numbers seem right to people?

    So does the price include lens cost considering the t&c says lens exlusion apply? I got quoted for normal prescription lenses before from opsm and i remember the lens costing almost the same as the frame ie. $200

    • adr8 on 16/11/2015 - 22:57

      Discount doesn't apply to the lenses, and you are right OPSM charge an arm and a leg for lenses.

      • YellowKnight on 16/11/2015 - 23:11
        +1

        Actually, apologies, I've edited it. The 50% off does include the prescription lenses. So for example if lens and frame totals $400 you will get them for $200 plus the health insurance rebate.

      • Puska on 16/11/2015 - 23:14

        i get charged $300 for lenses… i can then pay an excess of $30 through insurance for new lenses during my 2 years insurance warranty…

    Check out Bailey Nelson glasses before going with Ray Bans.

    I got a pair of Ray Bans from OPSM earlier this year which were crazy expensive, but I ended up returning them. Bailey Nelson had much nicer glasses and built really well. I got a pair for about $170, which was covered by my healthcare.

        Bupa optical says they price match, looks like I also get a better rebate if I purchase through bupa optical… looks like that might be the go. Approx $80-$110 higher rebate by going through them.

      It is around 300 RPP. These lenses will finish with Rayban logo top right corner of right lens. Personally think its a great offer, as they were never discounted this heavily previously.

      • unknown on 17/11/2015 - 11:17

        Yes they have the logo, which is fine. But, the retards also etched a tiny R and B in circles, to the centre left and right in both of my lenses. As the etches aren't tinted or polarized, they can catch the light and show small flares when wearing them. Super annoying. I haven't seen these engravings on their non-prescription lenses.

        • Associatedl2p10 @ OPSM on 17/11/2015 - 12:59
          +1

          Rayban prescription sunnies uses digital lenses, where it is custom-made based on how it sits on one's face, and in theory it should provide clearer vision than normal lenses. Unfortunately because of that, it will have engravings, which is required to identify the lenses and how it sits. The engravings arent new though, pick up any pairs of multifocal glasses or computer glasses (that is not single vision), you will see them too…

        • unknown on 17/11/2015 - 13:28

          @l2p10: Interesting, thanks for that info. My local OPSM staff didn't know the reasons for this when I asked. I still wish they could put the engravings in a less noticeable place though.

      • Mehrad on 19/11/2015 - 11:47

        Hey Rep,

        I have my own pair of Ray-Ban sunnies which are from the series that could be fitted by prescriptions. Will I receive this %50 on fitting original Ray-ban prescriptions on them if I bring my own frame?

        I have been holding off on doing so, since they are so expensive ($300+) to be fitted. :/

        The standard frame was $240 on its own, then with prescription lenses it was $478, then the 50% off was $239

      You can request it when you order (so they will not throw it away during quality control process) or when pick up. The normal lenses actually just go to the bin most time…

    Does it include transition?

  • cool kid on 25/11/2015 - 17:45

    So I went in, the deal is 50% of the sunglasses WITH a prescription (which costs more than the sunglasses themselves). For example, I liked some ray ban sunnies for 200, that comes to 100 with the discount but then the polarized lenses cost 550 dollars alone (what the (profanity) (profanity)? ), and with the discount they were 275 so total was $375 for ray bans with a prescription….IF i chose none polarized lenses (which are pretty useless according to what they showed, too much glare) I could get them for 225 which isn't that bad to be honest, but that is non polarized with the most basic lens quality.

  • adenda on 25/11/2015 - 23:34

    Seems to be a bit of misinformation being put out by some OPSM staff about this offer. We checked it out last weekend and got straight answers from the store staff (Dandenong) but after going to another store - which had a bigger range - the information became a bit vague ie. they suggested the offer had finished but that they would still honour it.
    So I called their head office 1800 number and they confirmed the offer is definitely still available (until December 24) although it no longer appears on their website - they didn't know why. Interestingly the same offer does still appear on their NZ website.

    Anyway the NZ website states "the offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, discount, rebate or benefit other than a health fund rebate." and I remember reading the same terms for the Australia offer when it was still listed on their local website. So clearly what people are being told about health fund rebates not applying is rubbish - it's a matter between you and your health fund whether you claim or not. (If they won't process the claim electronically at the time of purchase you can simply present the receipt to your health fund yourself.)
    Regarding pricing, the standard prices for the Ray-Ban lenses according to the Ray-Ban pricing brochure we were shown was $250 for non-polarised and $350 for polarised - I wrote them down so there was no confusion. I suggest asking to see the brochure to confirm prices - it looked like it was intended for public viewing ie. it wasn't some secret list for staff use only.
    So in summary, our quote was frames at $209.95 (RB2140) and polarised Ray-Ban lenses at $350 for a total of $559.95 which was $279.98 after 50% discount.

    • Associatedl2p10 @ OPSM on 26/11/2015 - 00:13

      It is definitely still active, just a silent offer now. No advertising atm until further notices, which I think due to stock issues, they were selling like hotcakes.

    Got a pair of RB2132 which came to $259.95 without discount, and my prescription which was $350 for the lenses, so it came to $610 before discount and $305 after, which i thought was alright, but $610 for 1 pair at normal price is ridiculous!!

    I paid $165 for a pair of Clubmasters (there was a 25% black friday code). Suspect a similar discount will be offered in the january sales, so worth keeping an eye on them if you're not in a hurry. Pun intended,

    • adr8 on 17/12/2015 - 17:57

    I have regularly bought my prescription glasses and sunglasses from http://www.optics-online.com.au/ Greg offers great service and price. It is definitely Australian stock. I have had good experience with the Crizal lenses if you just want a spectacles.
