Only the first 500 customers to use the code in each city are eligible to get the free pair
Offer includes frame, standard 1.5 index lenses, A/R coating, UV coating and Scratch Resistant coating. One free pair per household. Shipping & handling applies. Customers who have already received a free pair of glasses from a previous promotion are not eligible. *If you wish to add a tint or upgrade to thinner lenses, you may do so and just pay the difference.

THANKS
huh, Nova Scotia is a city now? Never knew.
and Moncton is the only NB city? pff.
I got my free glasses when they hit my city, and I’m very happy with the experience. Definitely check it out, but you gotta be quick in the morning. They’re all gone within a hour.
COME TO PETERBOROUGH! lol
isnt Markham part of York? Hopefully I have two chances at getting pair of glasses 🙂
So does Kitchener include Waterloo?
so do they post the code on their website? or the fbook page?
They email the code to you shammy
How fast do you have to react? When does the site open for the code use? I’m just trying to figure out what time of day i’ll have to dedicate to be the one of the first 500 people
Yup, W’loo counts as Kitchener. On the fb page, I asked if Stratford counts as Kitchener, and they said yes! Earlier, they said they email the coupon codes around 8 or 9am Pacific time, but that might change when they move east. I ordered contacts yesterday afternoon from Clearly Contacts and I received them via FedEx this afternoon, about 24 hours later. Super impressed with that, and it cost about half the price of buying through my eye dr. I just hope that my benefits doesn’t get weirded out and refuse to pay my claim….
how much is the shipping shannon?
LOL Eric, I was thinking the same thing about Newfoundland. Last time I checked it was a province not a city.
What’s the make of the glasses? Are they worth the shipping cost?
humm so I am in NS…but frankly..i need a tad more info than THAT…any idea what city?
Shipping and handling is about $15.00, any frame let alone one with free lenses is worth $15.00…and you can get designer frames such as Coach, Dior, Chanel, Emporio Armani, Nike Calvin Klein it all just depends what is on the website at the time and there is always atleast 200 frames to choose from. If that isn’t worth the $15.00 to ship it then I don’t know how you manage to feel yourself with purse strings that tight!
What do I need to be ready to take advantage of this promotion? An rx? Anything else? What does “1.5 index lenses” mean?
it means they are doing the whole province rather the select cities for the provinces listed IMO thats pretty awesome.
Seriously, how did Edmonton not make the list??
@Tammy: Perhaps no-one voted for Edmonton?
Does anyone know if this giveaway is good for sunglasses as well? Or is it only prescription lenses? Thanks!
I got my selection on freebie day in Edmonton. I ordered tinted glasses and since I needed a higher index I had to pay extra, I paid $80 after all was said and done.
Just so that I’m clear… we are emailed the code prior to our city’s giveaway date, we print off the code and high tail it to the store on that date VERY early to avoid missing the first 500? With us we must have our prespcription and we must also have the frames already chosen from the website?
Shipping for my contacts was $9.95 but I saved $8.76 on my order using the code “Smartdiscount” (10% off), which expires today.
Awesome, Kitchener is on the list!!!! Guess enough of us requested it 🙂
@Tammy — Edmonton already had it, it was like a few days before the Calgary one like a week or two ago.
@Collen — If you signed up then yes, you get an email with the code right before it begins and you have to get online (there’s no store) and order your glasses (have your prescription handy). Obviously it would help if you already had your frames picked out beforehand.
Also Clearly Contacts does free shipping on X amount (forgot what it is), so maybe just pick one that will give you free shipping.
How long is a eye glasses prescription valid for? I am just wondering if I have to go and get a new prescription or if knowing my numbers is good enough.
Knowing your numbers is all you need.
I just got my free glasses from clearly contacts and I have to say that they are pretty amazing ,I will certainly buy new glasses and sun glasses from them . TRhey are very friendly and professional.THANKS
can a suberb of montreal enter. I live in longueil. Montreal is listed, so does that just mean the island of montreal? Thanks.
Yay! Got my free glasses today! I was part of the Kitchener giveaway! I opted for a better lens so I had to pay for that but a complete pair of name brand (Coach) glasses for $30 is so worth it! Can’t wait for them to come!
Yay! Put my order in for free glasses today! I was part of the Kitchener giveaway! I opted for a better lens so I had to pay for that but a complete pair of name brand (Coach) glasses for $30 is so worth it! Can’t wait for them to come!
Ooops! Didn’t means to write that twice!
I guess the new date of May 26 for Saskatoon wasn’t right, I haven’t received an email from them yet!
