Vision Source Summerlin/Lakes to host Autumn Eyewear Event

For anyone who wears sunglasses or prescription glasses, the Vision Source Autumn Eyewear Event on Thursday, Sept. 23 is the perfect time to preview the latest styles and take advantage of big savings. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Vision Source Summerlin/Lakes (8937 W. Sahara, Suite A in Las Vegas) and is free and open to the public.

The trunk show will feature new fall designs for men, women and children from Rampage and GANT. Consultants from both brands will offer complimentary consultations on fit and style selection, and Vision Source will offer special event day-only savings. With the purchase of any frame, shoppers will receive free glare-resistant single vision lenses as well as $100 off of bifocal, trifocal or progressive (no-line bifocal) lenses. All children’s frame purchases will include 100 percent UV, shatterproof, lightweight lenses. In addition, Vision Source will offer 30 percent off all adult sunglasses with the purchase of a year’s contact lens supply. Offers may not be combined with insurance.

“Frames and sunglasses play an important role in protecting one’s vision,” says Dr. James Beckwith of Vision Source. “Now more than ever, they are an integral part of fashion, reflecting an individual’s style and personality. An event like this enables Vision Source to showcase an entire collection from leading designers. The vast number of options means it’s a great opportunity for those who feel like it’s time to change up their current frame style or for the person who is wearing frames for the first time.”
