Eyewear is the only sensory aid that doubles as a fashion statement, particularly after the spectacular failure of ivory-plated smelling funnels. View the world stylishly with today's Groupon: for $49, you get an eye exam and $150 to use toward prescription eyewear at Specs For Less (a $205 value). This Groupon may be used at any of Specs for Less's five locations, in Staten Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey.

The optical experts at Specs For Less outfit peepers for optimal performance. After a thorough eye exam (a $55 value), peruse a selection of more than 750 frames, each campaigning for a chance to bedeck faces with vision-enhancing lenses and image-enhancing style. The prescription lenses (from $88) can come settled in basic frames (from $78) or designer perches bearing brand names, such as Gucci, Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana, and Bulgari (from $138). Transitions lenses (from $188) shade gently depending on the time of day, functioning as both sunglasses and indoor glasses, and bifocals allow multiple lenses to reside in a single frame (from $108). Monocles enable oil barons to see their date's most attractive quadrant at prom.

Though Specs For Less sometimes offers coupons on its website and Facebook page, this deal still presents the best value and has no minimum purchase.
