If you buy contact lenses by the box or by the year, ContactsDirect has a teacher discount that is easy to like: 20% off any order, plus free shipping, verified through ID.me. Contacts are a cost that repeats, so a percentage off the whole order matters more here than it would on a single pair of frames.
ContactsDirect is an online contact lens seller. Its page on ID.me points to a few things that set up the store: it takes most vision insurance plans, it lets you save your plan and your prescription in one account, and it works with FSA and HSA benefits. The teacher offer sits beside all of that, and it’s the order total that it comes off.
How To Get The ContactsDirect Teacher Discount
ID.me lists the offer as 20% off any order and free shipping for Teachers. Begin at ID.me’s ContactsDirect page, sign in to your ID.me account or make a free one, and confirm that you’re a teacher. ID.me says verified Teachers community members get these savings through ID.me Shop, so use that route instead of going straight to the store.
Build the order the way you normally would. Have your prescription handy, since contact lenses can’t be ordered without one, and check that the total at checkout shows the 20% before you pay. If it doesn’t, go back through ID.me’s page rather than guessing.
One Offer At A Time
ID.me’s restriction note says community discounts can’t be combined with any other site promotions, and that additional restrictions may apply. So if ContactsDirect is running a promo code or a sale, this isn’t an add-on to it. Compare the two totals, then pick the one that leaves you paying less.
ID.me doesn’t list a teacher-only exclusion on specific lens brands, and it doesn’t describe a maximum order size, so we can’t tell you which products the 20% skips beyond what the restriction note says. If you’re ordering an unusual lens, put it in the cart and look at the price before you verify.
Insurance And FSA Or HSA Money
ContactsDirect’s own note, shown on ID.me’s page, says it welcomes most vision insurance plans, both in and out of network, and that you can add your plan in My Account. It also says that whether you have an FSA or an HSA, it will help you get the most out of your vision care dollars. What we couldn’t confirm is how an insurance claim and the teacher discount combine on one order, since the restriction note speaks only about other site promotions. Ask ContactsDirect before you pay if you plan to use both.
