If you are in need of some new eyeglasses, Coastal Contacts (now known as Coastal.com) is again giving away free eyeglasses. However, rather than only giving away a certain amount of free glasses at a certain time as Coastal Contacts has done in previous giveaways this summer, customers can get their first pair of eye glasses for free at any time with coupon code FIRSTPAIRFREE .
There’s no limit to how many they will give away or a specific time for you to enter the giveaway. The only requirement is you have to be a first-time Coastal Contacts customer.
With this promotion, you will receive the following:
- One free pair of frames with standard prescription lenses (choose from over 1000 eligible frames)
- Standard 1.5 index lenses
- Hard case
- Glasses tightening tool
- Cleaning cloth
The only thing you will have to pay is the cost of shipping, which ranges from $10-$15, plus any upgrades such as bifocals, coatings, high index lenses, progressives or tints.
If you receive your eye glasses and don’t like them for any reason, Coastal Contacts will also let you exchange or return them at absolutely no cost to you.
How to Get Free Eyeglasses from Coastal Contacts
Coastal Contacts has grouped their eligible frames into one section. Browse them and find a pair you like, then follow these instructions to get your free pair:
1) Pull out your prescription for your eyeglasses. You’ll need to enter the measurements for your eyes.
2) You’ll need to enter your “pupil distance” or PD, which is the distance between the centers of your pupils. I had my husband measure mine and my glasses turned out fine.
3) Enter those items and the coupon code FIRSTPAIRFREE at checkout to get your free pair.
Please note that not all frames are eligible for the coupon code and there is a limit of 1 free pair of glasses per household across all free promotions (so if you’ve already ordered from CoastalContacts.com in a previous promotion, you cannot order again).
Coastal Contacts Promotions for Existing Customers
If you have previously ordered from Coastal Contacts but are interested in ordering another pair of eye glasses from them, you can receive 40% off your entire glasses order plus free shipping when you order coupon-eligible frames and enter coupon code 40PCYBER at checkout.
Or, if you wear contacts, you can save $10 on your contact lenses order of $150 or more from Coastal Contacts with coupon code 10DOLLARS or save $25 on your order of $300 or more with coupon code 25CONTACTS. Each of these three promo codes expire 12/5.

I used this deal over the summer. My family was skeptical when I brought it up. I got my glasses quickly and in a hard case. I have been extremely pleased with my glasses.
I got mine for under $10 :)
Is there a catch??
No, there’s not. I got my glasses from them and opted for a handful of upgrades – thinner lenses, anti-glare, etc. and paid less than $40 shipped. LOVE them!
Can you use more than one promo code together? I noticed the promo code FREESHIP2011 which is supposed good on any order but I didn’t know if anyone had tried using the two together.
I haven’t tried personally, but I don’t think it works – based on what I have heard from Coastal.com and readers.
