Eyemart Express gives school employees 20% off eyewear in its stores, and the discount reaches your immediate family too, as long as you’re there with your ID. It isn’t limited to teachers, either: the page names bus drivers, food service staff and custodial staff among the people who qualify.
Eyemart Express is an eyewear retailer whose page says its discount is available at its nationwide store locations, and it mentions glasses with corrective lenses, sunglasses and safety glasses. The page describes the offer as an in-store one, and the rules below are written around that.
How To Get The Eyemart Express Teacher Discount
The page says the discount is 20% on in-store purchases. It tells you to find a location near you, so start with the Eyemart Express school faculty and staff page and then go in with your school ID badge.
Eyemart Express says the discount goes to anyone employed by an accredited public or private PK-12 school, college or university with a valid school ID badge. The page doesn’t describe a sign-up step or an online code, so we couldn’t confirm that there’s any way to use the offer without going in.
Who Qualifies
The list on the page is wide. It names professors, teachers, guidance counselors, administrators, nurses, custodial staff, food service, maintenance staff, bus drivers and other assistants. If you work in a school or on a campus and have a valid badge, the page reads as though you’re covered. We couldn’t confirm how the store handles a badge that doesn’t show your role, so bring whatever your school issued.
What The Discount Covers
Eyemart Express says the discount applies toward your total eyewear purchase, and that it takes 20% off the order when you add lens upgrades too. It says you can combine the discount with its everyday two-pair pricing, but you can’t apply multiple promotions to a single purchase, so a store promotion and the staff discount are an either-or.
The page also lists what it leaves out. The discount does not apply to Oakley, Ray-Ban and ready-to-wear sunglasses. The page’s FAQ asks whether the discount can be used on eye exams and contact lenses, and answers by saying it applies only to optical eyewear and sunglasses, so don’t count on the 20% for an exam or a box of contacts.
If You Have Vision Insurance
Eyemart Express says you can’t use the staff discount with insurance, which means you choose one or the other on a given purchase. The page says a local store associate can help you find the most cost-effective way to buy your eyewear, so ask for a side-by-side comparison before you decide.
Bringing Your Family
The page says the discount extends to immediate family. The condition is that the qualifying staff member is present with their ID when the purchase is made, so plan on going in together. We couldn’t confirm whether the store defines immediate family beyond what the page says.
