How to Claim a Rebate on Your Visionworks.com Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are expensive, and a lot of people visit their eye doctor and then get much cheaper lenses online. The issue with this is the quality of online lenses.
Eye doctors like to offer contact lens rebates and Visionworks.com is no exception. However, claiming these rebates can be complicated. Many people are eligible for a contact lens rebate, but never get it because they didn't send it in on time, send it in wrong, or forget about it altogether.
DoNotPay can help with all kinds of rebates, including new car rebates, tire rebates from Michelin and Goodyear, and rebates from companies such as Macy's, Verizon, Home Depot, and Menards, as well as programs like Mass Saves.
What Rebates Does Visionworks Offer?
offered by Visionworks are a "partnership" with their contact lens supplies and thus offer a different amount for each type of lens.
As these rebates are manufacturer partnerships, each one has a different mechanism for claiming it, which might involve going to the manufacturer's website or to a website run by a third-party company that helps manage the rebate program.
Some have significant limits, such as Bausch + Lomb lenses requiring that all purchases are from the same practitioner who prescribed the contacts (if you move at an awkward time this could be a problem, although it does allow "affiliated," so presumably any Visionworks location or their website would work).

Who is Eligible for Visionworks Contact Lens Rebates?
Visionworks contact lens rebates are available only if:
- You got your eye exam at a Visionworks location.
- You purchase the required amount, a full year's supply for most offers.
Some rebates are only available to new wearers and many offer a higher amount to new wearers, paradoxically penalizing loyalty. Rebates must be claimed within 60 days of purchase.
How to Claim Visionworks Contact Lens Rebates
The mechanism for claiming is slightly different for each manufacturer. Here are two examples;
Acuvue Rebate
- Get your eye exam at a Visionworks location. Keep the receipt.
- Purchase the required amount. Acuvue has rebates for 3, 6, and 12-month supplies, but offers the highest level on annual supplies. You can only get rebates for a year's supply between eye exams. Keep the receipt.
- Make an account on MyAcuvueRewards.com
- Log in to your account and complete the online reward form.
- Mail your receipts to Merkle Inc. PO Box 5085, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5085. Note that it doesn't specify if they need the originals. Acuvue does not allow you to scan or photograph and upload the receipts.
Coopervision Contact Lens Required Documents
- Dated eye exam receipt with
- fitting fee exam
- date circled
- Dated sales receipt with
- eligible lens purchase(s)
- date circled
- Two product box end panels
- (one for each eye) showing prescription information
Other manufacturer partners have slightly different methods, but typically you will need to provide both the receipt for the eye exam and the receipt for the lenses and fill out a claim within 60 days. It's a small wonder a lot of people don't claim their rebates, especially if they have to mail in the receipts. It's 2021, there should be a better way. And there is.
Next Steps for Claiming Contact Lens Rebates If You Can't Do it Yourself
Sadly, there aren't many options for people who find the way to claim contact lens rebates too complex. You might be able to get some help and/or advice from your eye doctor's administrative and sales staff. It's always worth asking them to go through how to claim the rebate so you have a clearer idea of it.
After you have left the store, however, it can be really challenging to have to go back or call them up to get help. On top of that, they may not be entirely happy about it (and you might be the next person left hanging while they try to talk somebody through it on yourself.
