Nearsightedness impairs one’s ability to drive, read, and make the crucial distinction between truth serum and chocolate milk. Guard your secrets with today’s Groupon: for $39, you get $250 worth of in-store prescription eyewear at Skeye Optical in Richmond. Groupon customers may use this deal in conjunction with insurance and extended health care.

Skeye Optical festoons its expansive showroom with brand-name lenses and frames that alleviate near and farsightedness while chicly befitting faces. Captained by an on-site optician with more than 15 years of ocular expertise, Skeye Optical's professional staffers can assemble new specs or prescription sunglasses in less than hour depending on whether a client's chosen lenses are in stock. Single-vision prescription lenses ($79+) or progressive prescription lenses ($250+) bestow eyes with vision so clear they can see a man talking to himself from 20 yards away, and Transitions technology ($310) deftly adjusts to changes in natural light. Before being wedged into fashionable frames ($198+), lenses are layered in anti-reflection, anti-scratch, and UV-protective coatings, so patrons can ensure their glasses stay intact during daily stares at the sun. Skeye Optical welcomes insurance benefits and extended health care.
