What's the smartest purchase you can make with your tax refund? A pair of new glasses, of course! Whether you need a backup pair, a new style or a prescription update, using your tax return to buy new glasses is a great investment. At Eyemart Express, you can get glasses delivered in as little as three days. Let's explore how to buy new glasses with your tax return in five smart ways.
1. Get Peace of Mind With a Backup Pair
Having a backup pair of glasses is more than just a luxury. It's good to have the peace of mind that you have another pair of glasses for life's what-if moments. Even if you somehow misplace your glasses before a big meeting or accidentally damage them before going away on vacation, a second pair means you can continue to see the moments that matter most.
Think of it like vision insurance. A second pair of glasses is an investment, so you have another pair to fall back on. If your glasses are in for repair, you'll always have a stylish backup pair, allowing you to keep moving through your day.
You can find reliable backup glasses at Eyemart Express from your favorite brands and for every budget. This includes frames under $100 or under $20.
Blue light glasses can also make for a handy second pair. These glasses are ideal if you spend a lot of time looking at screens. The filters in the glasses help prevent eyestrain, headaches and can even improve your sleep. At Eyemart Express, you can add blue light filtering to any pair of glasses.
If you're looking to buy affordable blue light protection with your flexible spending account (FSA), consider opting for your favorite frames for your prescription glasses. You can save double by using your untaxed funds for some new glasses and finding your favorite styles for less at Eyemart Express.
2. Make Travel Safer With Prescription Sunglasses
Sunglasses may seem like another fashion accessory, but when you add prescription lenses, they can significantly aid in everyday activities like driving.
Sun glare can make driving uncomfortable or even dangerous. Polarized prescription lenses can help improve visibility and reaction time. They help reduce sun glare and have your prescription, so you continue to see clearly on the road. This can help you feel more comfortable and confident on your next road trip.
Even if you don't drive, prescription sunglasses help you see every moment of your adventures while protecting your vision. Polarized sunglasses and ultraviolet (UV) coatings on glasses can also protect your eye health. Excessive UV exposure is linked to an estimated 20% of worldwide cataract cases. Buying a pair of prescription sunglasses with your tax return is a savvy way to look after your vision.
Eyemart Express offers glasses with UV coating, which protects up to 99.99% of UVA/UVB rays, and polarized glasses for 100% UV protection. Find frames from Ray Ban, Halston and Oakley to combine style and safety.
3. Add Ultimate Convenience With Photochromic Lenses
If you find yourself constantly switching between normal glasses and sunglasses, consider photochromic lenses. You may be familiar with this type of lenses that adapt automatically to light. They go from clear to tinted when you move from indoors to outdoors, allowing you to wear one pair of glasses all day, even in different lighting conditions.
For those days with intermittent sunshine, these transition lenses can enhance comfort and help you stay focused on the moment. You can add photochromic lenses to any set of frames at Eyemart Express, including our new arrivals.
4. Boost Your Confidence With a Style Refresh
Refresh your style by choosing a new pair of glasses with your tax return. There are many psychological benefits to updating your look. Your glasses are more than functional objects — they are part of your overall identity.
When we wear certain clothes or accessories, they can change how we act and feel. If you have a job interview or a presentation at work, then you dress more smartly than usual to boost your confidence. Your glasses can also make a powerful statement at work.
In social settings, it can also be a boost to have eyewear that matches your outfit or have a slightly more elevated style for big events. This helps you feel more put-together down to every detail.
Using your tax refund to choose a new style of frame is a great way of changing your look without having to dip into your regular budget. You could opt for some more premium frames, or find a trending style like Cat-Eye frames. You can trust Eyemart Express has the frames to suit your look, including square, round, rectangle and aviator styles.
5. Invest in Your Whole Family’s Vision
Your loved one's vision matters. Include a family annual eye exam on your tax refund checklist for eye care.
There are many benefits to using tax money for an eye doctor:
Increase comfort: Regular eye exams ensure your family members have the right prescription. This can reduce eye strain and headaches. Even small changes in prescription can make it harder to read smaller text or for your children to concentrate in school.
Protect eye health: Visiting your eye doctor regularly can help you detect eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration in their early stages. These can be hard to spot yourself until you experience some vision loss. Having regular checkups keeps your eyes in tip-top shape.
Catch health issues: Colloquially, eyes are known as the windows to the soul. But your eye doctor can detect systemic health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancers in their early stages.
Getting the correct-fitting glasses for your children sets them up for school and social life. With Eyemart Express' extensive collection of kids' glasses, you can ensure they find frames they'll love showing off to their friends. Meanwhile, you'll have the peace of mind that they can see everything clearly, whether they are studying or enjoying activities.
Whether you need men's, women's or kids' glasses, Eyemart Express has frames for the whole family.
