11/6/2024 | It's that time of year again! OVVO Optics and Etnia Barcelona have new fall styles that they will bring to showcase and we would love for you to join us. If you thought we had a good selection of eyewear before, prepare to be amazed at the additional 500+ frames to choose from. Our specials during the show: $100 off of 1 frame, $250 off of 2 frames, $400 off of 3 frames... You can come in and purchase just eyewear at the show, and get lenses later on. You could also get multiple pairs, as one pair doesn't typically work for every occasion. Offers cannot be combined with insurance. THERE WILL BE PRIZES! If you stop by and enter your name in the drawing, you will get a chance to win our door prize. You will also earn raffle tickets when you meet each eyewear representative. These tickets you can enter to win special prizes (more information to come!) DON'T WAIT TO ORDER! Walk-Ins are welcome at the event, although we highly encourage you to set up a VIP appointment before the show with one of our expert opticians. Please Call 517-236-7090 or Email us at GreatVision@EYESOptometryBoutique.com to set up your VIP appointment. more info... |
