After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

LensCrafters Black Friday 2025 Sale – Early Access is Live!

Leave a comment

Updated on Wednesday, November 19, 2025: Whether you need prescription glasses, sunglasses, or a new set of lenses, Thanksgiving weekend is usually when you can get them for less. LensCrafters is kicking off their Black Friday 2025 sale early this year, and here’s everything you need to know about the deals, dates, and offers.

Early Access: November 18–20, 2025

LensCrafters is giving email subscribers and in-store shoppers a head start on Black Friday. From Tuesday, November 18 through Thursday, November 20, 2025, you can shop select frames and lenses before the main sale begins:

  • 50% off lenses
  • 30% off designer frames

This early access is available both in-store and online at lenscrafters.com using the code EA25-57R2V for online orders. Keep in mind that these offers cannot be combined with vision benefits, other discounts, or previous purchases, and some premium designer and specialty frames are excluded (like Chanel®, Prada®, Ray-Ban® Special Projects, and more).

Main Black Friday 2025 Sale: Likely November 24 – December 1

While early access has started, the main Black Friday sale is expected to begin soon after, likely on Monday, November 24, 2025, and run through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. This gives you roughly a week to take advantage of discounts, both in stores and online.

Discounts to Expect

Based on the confirmed early access and past trends, here’s what shoppers can expect:

  • 30% off select frames – Applies to many designer and in-house styles, though some luxury brands are excluded.
  • 50% off select lenses – Discounts apply to multiple pairs, but a valid prescription is required.
  • Offer limitations – Black Friday discounts generally only apply when purchasing complete pairs (frames + lenses) and cannot be combined with vision benefits, other promotions, or previous purchases.

Additional Shopping Tips

  • Act early – Some of the best-selling frames and lenses can sell out quickly, even during early access.
  • Check exclusions – Several high-end and specialty frames are not eligible for discounts, so review your choices carefully.
  • 30-day happiness guarantee – Even during the Black Friday sale, LensCrafters allows a full month to return or exchange glasses if you’re not satisfied.
