You’re reading this because you’re most likely a parent… now being a parent I can say I wait till the last second to do anything and everything… mainly because I’m too busy doing other things to really make time for things but I think we can all agree that eye exams are the most important back-to-school supply. Simply because 1 in 4 kids have a vision problem that can affect academic learning, which is 80% visual.

Making annual eye exams part of your annual back-to-school check list helps set your child up for success. Simple vision screenings are not enough to take care of your child’s eyesight. A study by the National Eye Institute found that vision screenings missed between 32-63% of vision problems identified by eye examinations. Further, the American Optometric Association shares that 60% of students identified as “problem learners” actually have an undetected vision problem.
Children often don’t know if they should see better. That’s why it’s important to schedule annual comprehensive eye exams before starting the school year… Which brings us to this point that its BACK… the whole no time and putting it off to the last minute because the LensCrafters Semi-Annual Lens Event ends soon!!!

My wife has already taken advantage of this great discount offer as she is wearing wonderful new glasses (yes she paid for them) for those times she doesnt feel like wearing contacts. One of the coolest things I’d have to say is she had them in about an hour – which also happens to be the usual delivery time for food around Manhattan.  Really this amazing – in the same time it could take your nails to get done you’re walking out with a brand new glasses that should help you see better.

I got to try out this perfect fit technology which is very impressive (ignore my ugly mug for a second) like the glasses that I happened to receive as well – cool because one lucky reader is going to end up winning a their own raybans from LensCrafters. Ray-Ban RB8301 in black with a retail value is $179.95 if you really wanted to know (its also those in the picture to the upper right)!

Now that you’ve seen this perfect fit technology what is it?
