      Can you recommend an online store pls? Also can you use private health with the online stores? Thanks.

      • kehuehue on 05/10/2022 - 14:11

        Yeah a store that has good return policy if not right or something similar

        • EchoNoob on 05/10/2022 - 14:32

          Got a link?

          • kehuehue on 05/10/2022 - 14:34

            @EchoNoob: Nah, I mean i am on the lookout for the same, fwiw check out specsavers online first and if its a high requirement prescription they will ask you to come in store. then its probably not worth getting it done from an online store elsewhere

            @EchoNoob: Eyebuy direct

            Usually have codes floating around for signing up

              @shroomish: Buy from Zenni. Do not buy from EyeBuyDirect. They are part of the EssilorLuxottica Monopoly

              The company dominates the global eyewear market as the largest single player in that market.[2][3]

              They own the following companies: Clearly (Clearly.ca/Coastal.com), Eyebuydirect, FramesDirect.com, LensCrafters, OPSM, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Sunglass Hut, Target Optical, Vision Direct, Vision Source, and more. The company has been accused of being a borderline monopoly by using their market dominance to unfairly increase the cost of their products.

        I don't think you can claim private health insurance as it's overseas. But I used Zenni. Cost me $30 USD for a frame + prescription and $10 USD for shipping. Quality is pretty decent but you might need to get it adjusted once it arrives. Mine was a bit too tight but once it was fixed up, no other issues from there.

    • qq830821 on 05/10/2022 - 13:52

      any good online store you would recommend?

        There's also clearly. They accept some private insurance companies.

      • Alzori on 05/10/2022 - 23:39

        I've used visiondirect before. They offer reasonable prices on designer brands, as well as having some cheaper in house brands. You can get rebates from many Australian health funds though which is great, I paid like $12 out of pocket for a nice pair of rimless Oakley glasses a while back. Look for coupons, you can usually apply something.

      can wait a week or two

      Specsavers also makes you wait two weeks, even when purchasing in store.

        At least. I have waited 2-4 weeks. Good customer service though

  • cunningdrew on 05/10/2022 - 13:50

    All the late year deals because those on private health have already exhausted their annual spend and it won't refresh till end of year.

    Has me thinking whether you're actually better off to get new glasses late year with the deals rather than early/mid year at sticker price on your private health.

    • parcus on 05/10/2022 - 13:55

      Thought everyone just rushes to use their limit at the end of the year?! Or is that just me as a chronic procrastinator

    • bozzonac on 05/10/2022 - 13:59

      This free polarised deal comes up throughout the year too (around 2-3 times a year with Specsavers) and sometimes the auto clubs offer this as well randomly during the year.

      Great way to use any remaining benefits before the end of the year but also if you have no remaining benefit, don't stress it will come up again in the new year.

    • AdamFury on 05/10/2022 - 14:04

      I'm usually rushing in at the end of the year to use up some benefits before Jan 1

  • assailantsky on 05/10/2022 - 14:12

    The free polarised lens option worked out to be cheaper for me compared to last month's Specsaver's deal (all two pairs at $199).

    With this deal I got two pairs from the $249 range with one pair having the polarised lens, with no gap payment (my cover gives $200 per year optical, Medibank customers gets a discount on $249 range, hence no gap).

    If I had ordered last month, it would have been $100 gap for the polarised lens option for the same pairs.

  • cchhiillyy on 05/10/2022 - 14:24

    Wait wasn't this always the case?

    Is there a difference between polarised and sunglasses?

    • shroomish on 05/10/2022 - 14:40

      Polarised only lets in horizontal light, reduces glare

      • cchhiillyy on 05/10/2022 - 14:41

        Huh, I see, thanks!

    • freetrial on 05/10/2022 - 18:14

      Normal sunnies alone just reduce the amount of light that you see.

      Polarised ones cut out horizontal glare (eg. light reflecting off a wet road or from water). This makes it great if you go fishing as you'll be able to see under the surface of the water.

    beware polarised lenses block out certain types of screens like my car head up display and train platform screens

    • Shwayne on 05/10/2022 - 15:04
      +6

      They shouldn't block any screen that is oriented correctly.

      The train uses sideways monitors for their displays, which is why they're not correctly polarised.

      It also blocks a lot of vertical billboard advertisements!

      Your car has no excuse, that's a messed up place to get that wrong.

      • MrKnowItAll on 05/10/2022 - 22:44

        So what you're saying is polarisation is just IRL AdBlock?

      • Kanjus on 06/10/2022 - 10:28

        That's good to know. Just googled the issue. Apparently a known problem with lots of cars. Something to do with removing glare and reflection on the windscreen

      • ExtraSalt on 29/10/2022 - 20:54

        na, its a pretty common problem actually. I have that issue myself where some tasks are difficult and do not show properly on my infotainment screen, though i'm used to it now.

  • Digitalco on 14/10/2022 - 22:02

    Can someone clarified bit confuse so i can get any glasses brand so one precripsion glasses and one free polarised len sunglasses? or they have to be the same glasses style to get this offer?

    • assailantsky on 14/10/2022 - 22:29

      Yes, mixing brands are fine. If in doubt, go to ask in store or call.
