It’s funny how our perception of things changes over time. Back when I was a kid, I would go to great lengths to hide my degenerating eyesight (hay, astigmatism). Squinting and cheating, I would fake my way through eye exams to avoid glasses at all costs. Now, as a twenty-something, I look for every opportunity to justify purchasing a new pair. Function aside (seeing is SO cool, guys), I love how they have the ability to transform my look in seconds. Currently, I alternate between two pairs that I adore; one smart pair for meetings and coffee dates, and one for nights on the town that serves up major boho vibes, complete with round frames and delicate florals.

If you’re looking to dress up your peepers, Hakim Optical is where you NEED to go. Trust. Trendy styles and great price points aside, they have an awesome Back to School promo going on RIGHT NOW – shoppers receive 50% off with purchase of two pairs of prescription eyeglasses. Ummmm yes, please!

Not to mention, Fall/Winter15 is SUCH a great season for eyewear trends.

From the drama of bold and beautiful frames with strong lines and futuristic elements to retro frames characterized by brows and neutral tones, the choices are endless! Maybe you don’t feel like taking a risk? That’s totally fine too! Classic, easy-to-wear frames with barely-there lines are having a moment right now too! And, it needs to be said: shopping for glasses is pretty much the best thing ever. You don’t have to take off your clothes or ogle at your bod under the most unflattering lighting known to man, amiright?

Wait, there’s more! Check out www.coupons.hakimoptical.ca for over $300 in savings. You can also join the Back 2 School Vote to Win contest now until Sept 21 for a chance to win Hakim Optical gift certificates, which will be awarded daily! Lastly, if you’ve got wee ones, you can pick them up two pairs of glasses for only $98!
