Clearly contacts currently have 30% off sunglasses frames, lenses and coatings.
I just picked up some Ray-Ban Wayfarers with prescription lenses and UV coating for $149. With health fund rebate they were free :)
Polarised lenses are an extra ~$35.
Lots of styles and lens options! Not sure when the code expires.

Any idea what OPSM's prices on prescription ray-bans are? Flybuys tells me they have 50% off, but their online store only has non-Rx sunglasses prices.
Don't know for ray-bans. I checked prescription Oakleys once at OPSM maybe a year ago - the sales assistant looked up the price and was like "$220 for the frames, plus $200…" and i was thinking 'that's not too bad' until she finished her sentence "…per lens" = $400 for the lenses + frames = $600 ouch! And i think they were coming from US, so probably worse now with exchange rate.
I was recently at my local optomoterist and was planning to cheap out by just getting my old (clear) lenses replaced as glass was getting a bit scratched (4yrs old) but keeping frames - instead of getting whole new set. My optotometrist suggested trying transition lens and mentioned there was a good deal on some fancy brand lens and coating which is meant to be really strong/long wearing. I dont' know full details, but he mentioned it's normally like $80 just for the coating, but full set with transition lens and coating was $180 (before rebate). Never had them before, but they are pretty good. Only problem is they don't work in cars.
got some for $300 polarised last month. These were on one of their sales.
Initially I bought a pair of Bolle's. Got them the day before heading overseas for a month. Could never get used to them due distortion from curved lenses, came back and they gave me the Raybans as a free replacement. It was over the month return date as well.
I guess they are more expensive but in this case worked out better off for me.
I looked at some yesterday, frames were around $180 and they wanted about $350 for both lenses. $265 after 50% discount.
I have Medibank Private and the strength is -5.0 so apparently not covered.
Yep. They used to be fine, then Medibank went all medieval on online glasses. My script is -4.5 so I'm out as well. Same for my daughter due to age restrictions. Enough to make me want to switch providers….
Bupa is out as well - they will only refund contacts.
Is the script strength issue related to Raybans specifically?
No. You can get the glasses, you just can't claim via insurance from Medibank private. You'll probably still find it cheaper than going to a normal store, but would be nice to be able to claim to save more….
How does it work. Do I paid in full and claim this through insurance myself?
Hope this is still available come January 2016.
the code is still active. tried just now and still works.
Couldn't get that code to work for me, sadly. Their 25% off code worked though.
