1. Decoding the "50% Off" Sales
Consider the logic: would a business sell products below cost? These sales often involve outdated stock or inflated initial markups, allowing companies to still profit after slashing prices. Often, these sales focus on discontinued items, which can be risky?"repairs may be impossible if parts are unavailable.
Sometimes, discounts apply only to frames, provided you purchase 'premium' lenses at inflated prices. Always compare lens prices first to ensure you're genuinely getting a deal.
Tip: Watch for stores that perpetually advertise these discounts?"a sign of misleading practices.

2. The Add-On Upsell
Add-ons like tints and protective coatings are big moneymakers for optical businesses. The sales staff often receive bonuses for selling these features, even when some are unnecessary if your lenses already include them naturally.
Opt for only essential coatings. Specialty lenses, such as hi-index or polycarbonate, typically come pre-equipped with UV and scratch protection?"no extra money needed. Negotiating can sometimes halve the cost of add-ons.

3. The Truth Behind "Buy One, Get One Free"
The "free" frame usually belongs to a budget range costing the store just a few dollars. You're then charged full price for the first pair, and the second pair often features basic, uncoated lenses. The real cost-savings for the store lie in selling you additional coating packages.
In essence, you're overpaying initially and getting a substandard second pair.

4. Spotting and Avoiding Cheap Frames
Frames costing a store as little as $1 to $7 may retail for $39 to $99. Such frames can be inferior, often found in promotional sections or bundled deals. They're made from poor materials, tarnish easily, and don't hold adjustments.
Opt for name-brand frames?"they're a safer bet for quality and longevity.

5. Choosing the Right Frame Size
Your prescription reveals whether you're nearsighted or farsighted along with any astigmatism, which influences frame choice.
For prescriptions under ±2.50, most frames will work, but stronger prescriptions require careful consideration regarding frame size and lens type:
- -2.50 to -4.00: Opt for frames no larger than size 54. Consider hi-index lenses for style flexibility without compromising on aesthetics.
- -4.00 to -6.00: Minimize frame size and use hi-index lenses for thinner appearance.

6. Grasping Single Vision Lens Options
CR-39 plastic lenses are common for their comfort and tinting ability, but low-quality versions can impair vision. Reputable brands include SEIKO, SILOR, and SOLA.
Hi-index lenses offer a higher refractive index, providing thinner and lighter lenses than traditional plastic. Insist on lenses with a refractive index of 1.60 or above for superior quality.
Polycarbonate is also an option?"impact-resistant and recommended for safety, but may lack in optical clarity compared to hi-index lenses.
Reminder: Hi-index and polycarbonate lenses come with built-in scratch and UV protection; don't pay extra for these features.
