$99 for $300 Worth of Lenses and Designer Frames at Visage Eyeware
Like hardboiled detectives, prescription lenses clear up blurry mysteries and frequently end up framed. Focus on the facts with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get $300 worth of lenses and designer frames at Visage Eyewear . At Visage Eyewear, customers browse upscale spectacles from designer brands, 12 of which are not for sale at any other West Coast eyewear boutique. Engaged staffers present clients with feature-flattering frames such as the brown Bevel Figjam, simple, roughly rectangular lens-holders with a thick top bar. The slightly cat-eyed Masunaga 011 frames fade from black into flecked amber toward the glasses’ bottom edge ($390), and tortoiseshell Kala 903 frames ($150) boast perfectly circular rims, which unfortunately do not spin when your car moves. To purchase glasses, customers must arrive armed with a valid prescription, or solicit one from the in-house optometrist. The Visage boutique doubles as an art gallery, so clientele can take in pieces from local artists as they seek their dream frames. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: Christmas Movies Read more…
