Glasses and lenses are not cheap and it may take time to find a good optician and optometrist who will find exactly what you are looking for. In order to save money on glasses, you can follow these simple methods:

1. Check with professional websites that supply corrective lenses online. Do not go to sites that will supply you prescription glasses with preset numbers in them. Ask for an optometrist or discuss with him about prescription glasses online and then create a custom set. Such sites will also supply low-cost eyeglasses along with a contact lens bargain deal.
2. Walmart and Target have great discount deals on glasses, eyewear, and contacts. They also have a discount on checkups at select stores.
3. Check with each site for free repair and replacement offers. Most shops or even professional websites will offer a free replacement in case of damage. For example, Walmart offers DIY eyeglass shopping. It also has a deal where you can get kids glasses replaced for free. This offer might be offered on other glasses as well, so it’s better to inquire with the stores beforehand.
4. Almost all online sites offer great deals, but European sites offer far lower prices. As all sites deliver internationally, one can save money on glasses by buying exclusively from European sites.
5. Check for coupon codes. There are several coupon codes and promo codes present online that will link to prescription eyeglass sites. All you have to do is to click on the coupon code to be directed to the site where one can find low-price glasses and save money on them.
6. Popular websites. There are several popular websites that are well known for their low-price glasses and contact lens bargains. Always check with www.1800contacts.com, www.Lens.com, www.FramesDirect.com, www.zappos.com, and with www.eyeglasses.com; these are popular websites that offer reliable frames and contacts. In fact, zenni.com offers prescription glasses for as low as $8 per set of glasses, but one will need a prescription for the set.

There are several blogs online that discuss the cheapest way to find prescription glasses online. The most popular site about the subject is Glassyeyes.com and cleverdude.com.
