TL;DR: Get 30% off new frames and lenses at Coastal with the code FRESH30.
You’re at home, on the computer, staring at the screen — again. Maybe you’re sending an email or waiting for someone to “circle back.” Or maybe you’re staring at your own face, dusty old frames and all, as you wait for the rest of the group to join a Zoom call.
For many of us work-from-homers, marathon sessions in front of a laptop are the norm, which also means a lot of blue light and eye strain. If you gave up on contacts last spring and haven’t yet thought about getting new glasses, now may be the perfect opportunity with Coastal’s spring sale, during which you can take up to 30% off frames and 30% off lenses with the code FRESH30, through May 4.
Though the offers cannot be combined, it's also worth mentioning that customers who are new to Coastal can save 25% on their first pair of glasses.
Beyond the sale, Coastal’s mission is also a good incentive to buy, as every purchase contributes to their effort to eradicate poor vision globally. Their buy one, give one mission donates one pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair you buy. Coastal has donated over 500,000 glasses so far.

You can put your webcam to new use on their website by “trying on” glasses virtually. So if you’ve always wondered what you’d look like in a striking pair of retro glasseswith round frames in “glamoflauge,” this is your moment to finally don a pair.
Whether you want to refresh your current look or try something new, Coastal has tons of styles. You can shop by frame style, where choices include everyday frames and throwback frames, or by shape, inclusive of rectangles, aviators, and D frames. Color selection is also plentiful, with options including blush, teal, “whiskey fade,” or any number of tortoiseshell variations. The “dying your own hair” stage of quarantine may be behind us, but we like to think “bold new glasses color” is a phase worth rocking behind a screen and in-person.
Last but not least, the promise of good weather is close enough to taste, and that means breaking out the sunnies. Coastal offers a huge variety of sunglasses, from modern to retro. We’d wager they’ll be equally stylish whether you rock them on your front stoop or a beach blanket in a couple of months.
So while you wait for that teammate to circle back and spring to arrive, consider zhushing up your Zoom face by treating yourself to one (or two, or three) new pairs of glasses. You may not have 20/20 vision, but the value of this sale is still pretty clear.
