The Merivale Vision Care team has you covered when it comes to back-to-school prep. For so many people, eye exams and new glasses are at the top of that list, because people need to see well to learn their best. We are about to let you in on a hot secret: for the whole month of August, we are offering 20% off your complete pair of eyeglasses purchase when you select your frame from our curated selection of designer brands for our Back-to-School Promotion! Yes, 20% off your lenses and designer frame from our highly coveted list of cool designers specifically selected for this wonderful time of year.

Not only that, on your second complete (frame and lenses) pair purchase, you will also receive 20% off. Yes! Even better, right up until the end of August we will donate $10 for each pair of glasses purchased to the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. You can read more about that initiative here. Ok now that you know about the hot deals, here are the hot takes on the super hot designer lines in this incredible offer.

If you love acetate, colour, a bold silhouette, or all those things together then look no further than the Etnia Barcelona collection for your perfect frame. This European line truly offers something for everyone, especially if you love a little adventure in your style. Turn your colour up with your new glasses for school with Etnia.

Next on the list is Levi’s. These frames are as cool and iconic as their denim and clothing line, offering classic and timeless silhouettes that never go out of style. If you like your frames made from metal in slightly oversized or round shapes, or acetate in modern-vintage silhouettes then Levi’s line is for you. Grab a frame in each metal and plastic, for more than one timeless option to wear during class.

For Parisian style with an edge, make sure you snag a Saint Laurent frame from this French designer collection. These acetate frames come in a neutral color palette, apart from red, but take on edgy silhouettes for a timeless modern look. These frames offer a bold style for your clear pair and make an exceptional frame option for a prescription sunglass with their oversized frame options.

We aren’t stopping there! Come in to check out the Modz Kids, Izumi, Nikon, and so many more collections included in this offer.

Book your eye exam with your Doctor of Optometry now and be sure to set up an appointment with one of our incredibly stylish and knowledgeable dispensing team members. They will have you seeing the school board and the computer in no time with your new, fabulous glasses (straight A’s not included).

Your next step is clear
