FAQs

What does an eyewear protection plan cover? ›

The Eyewear Protection Plan benefits include:

All maintenance and repairs that might be necessary during the year, including nose pad and screw replacements. Replacement of broken or damaged frames. Replacement of scratched or chipped lenses. Accidental breakage or damage to frames or lenses.

Insurance coverage depends on your plan. Some insurance allows you to get a new pair of glasses every year, so if you haven't used that allowance, you could replace your lost glasses through insurance. You can read your insurance policy to determine lost glasses coverage or other benefits related to glasses.

When investing in a new pair of glasses or sunglasses, not only do you want them to enhance your vision and style, but you also want them to last. Purchasing a warranty can protect you from paying for defective glasses or repairs from accidents. Here are some benefits of purchasing an eyewear warranty.

If you lose or break your glasses or contact lenses, you can easily get a new pair if you still have your prescription. But what happens when you need to get a new pair of glasses or contact lenses and you have lost your prescription? Most times, you may have to undergo a full eye examination all over again.

General Merchandise Protection plans cover things like power tools, outdoor equipment, patio, grills and more. Most products come with a manufacturer's warranty that lasts 90 days to one year from the date of purchase and covers product defects, breakdowns, plus mechanical and electrical failures.

For example, vision insurance will not cover vision loss, floaters, dry eyes, allergies, infections, eye disease, or eye exams for complication from diabetes.

So, you might only get your benefits for buying glasses every one or two years. If that's how often you want or need to go through a pair of glasses, then vision insurance will almost certainly save you money in the long run. Vision plans can be a great way to save money on your vision needs.

Frame and Lens Warranty

Lenses and Frames are guaranteed against manufacturer defects for one year after the original date of purchase. The defective portion of the eyewear must be returned for the manufacturer's warranty to be valid.

Each product of ours that is purchased at 100percent.com or from an authorized retailer is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty that begins on the original date of purchase.

Some clubs may also provide eyeglasses. New Eyes provides prescription eyeglasses to children and adults who can't afford them. A social worker or someone at a community health center may be able help you apply. Mission Cataract USA offers free cataract surgery to people of all ages who can't afford it.

What should I do if my glasses break? ›

Go to a local eyeglass shop.

If your glasses are broken but repairable (you have a missing screw or nose pad) it's possible your glasses could be repaired or replaced the same or next day. The possibility decreases if your frames or lenses are broken, and you have especially poor eyesight or unique requirements.

However, it is not always necessary to buy a brand new pair of glasses. In certain cases, the eye care professional can insert your current eyeglass lenses, which afford you optimal vision, into new eyeglass frames. Changes in fashion happen so quickly that it is sometimes no easy feat to keep up with them.

The manufacturer's warranty covers any frame or lens defect, however does not cover abuse. Eyewear that is destroyed, lost or stolen is not covered by the warranty.

Safety glasses must have shatter-proof lenses, impact resistant frames and provide side protection. Detachable side protectors (e.g. clip-on or slide-on shields) are acceptable if they meet the ANSI requirements.

Any safety glasses or goggles that are ANSI Z78. 1 certified must clearly be marked as such on some part of the lens or frame. The marking will have “Z87. 1” or “Z87.
