Whether you need prescription glasses, sunglasses, or a new set of lenses, Thanksgiving weekend is usually when you can get them for less. Based on what they offered in 2024 and a few early details about this year’s sale, here’s a full rundown of what you can expect from the LensCrafters Black Friday 2025 sale, including likely sale dates and expected discount amounts.
Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates
LensCrafters’ Black Friday sale is expected to begin on Monday, November 24, 2025, which is three days before Thanksgiving. You can expect to shop the sale both in-stores and at lenscrafters.com.
The sale will probably run for a full week, ending on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. That gives you an eight-day window to shop. Keep in mind that while the sale is planned to run through Cyber Monday, many items may sell out earlier. In past years, some of the best-selling styles and lenses sold out before the weekend even began.
So, if you have your eye on a particular frame or want to avoid the last-minute rush, it’s best to shop early—preferably during the first few days of the sale.
Discount Levels to Expect
Here’s a breakdown of the types of discounts LensCrafters is likely to offer this year, based on recent Black Friday sales:
-
30% off frames: This has been a standard part of their Black Friday promotion and is expected again this year. It typically applies to a wide selection of frame styles, including both in-house and designer brands.
-
Up to 50% off select lenses: This includes prescription lenses, and the exact discount usually depends on the type. Single vision lenses often get the higher discounts, while progressive or specialty lenses may get a smaller markdown.
-
50% off select complete pairs: Some combinations of frames and lenses were marked down by half, which was one of the biggest promotions they ran. This only applied to specific in-stock styles, but it covered both designer and basic options.
-
20% off Ray-Ban Meta: Last year, LensCrafters included a discount on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. While this may not return exactly the same way, a similar offer is expected.
-
Free shipping and returns: Standard with most orders, especially online purchases.
-
30-day “happiness” guarantee: This policy gives you a full month to test your new glasses and return or exchange them if you’re not satisfied. This isn’t just a Black Friday thing, but it still matters for shoppers buying this time of year.
There’s one catch to remember: these discounts usually only apply when you buy a complete pair of glasses. That means you have to purchase both the frame and lenses together. If you’re looking to just get a new frame without lenses or vice versa, the sale prices probably won’t apply.
Also, you can’t combine the Black Friday offers with vision insurance benefits or other promotional discounts. That means if you’re used to applying insurance coverage to your glasses, you’ll have to choose between using your insurance or taking the Black Friday discount—one or the other, not both.
