When you have problems with your vision, your ophthalmologist will prescribe corrective lenses. These may be in the form of eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The use of contact lenses has gain popularity because of the mobility and convenience they offer plus their added cosmetic appeal. Besides, marketing campaigns by manufacturers of contact lenses have aggressively promoted their use.

You regularly hear of contact lens discounts offerings; you can accumulate acuvue coupons as you purchase replacement contact lenses to receive lens discounts on subsequent purchases.

But not all people can or should wear contact lenses.

With increasing competition from contact lenses and other techniques for correcting vision problems, eyeglass providers have to promote eyeglass specials as part of their marketing campaigns.

Eyeglass specials may involve lens discounts. You now have a choice of lens material: glass, CR-39 optical plastic, polycarbonate plastic, and high-index plastic.

The chief disadvantage you must consider with plastic lenses is that they scratch more easily than glass. However, you can now specify scratch-resistant coatings on plastic lenses. These are effective but still not as hard as glass

On the other hand, the main problem with glass lenses is their weight and their tendency to splinter when broken which may cause serious injury to your eyes. Today’s glass lenses are tempered to minimize splintering, but they’re still not as safe as plastic lenses. You will have to make your lens selection to enjoy the lens discounts promoted in the eyeglass specials.

Eyeglass specials may offer discounts on the frame (which is often the more expensive part of the eyeglass). Most eyeglass frames are made of plastic, metal, or nylon. Frames reinforced with carbon fiber are the most durable among plastic frames. Metal frames are made of aluminum, beryllium, stainless steel or titanium. Composites of these are also manufactured, to reduce costs.
