FAQs from Specsavers
What is the 2 for 1 deal at Specsavers Ireland, and how does it work?
The 2 for 1 deal gives you a second pair of glasses free when you buy your first pair. It starts from €95 for most customers, or from €53 if you're PRSI eligible. Your second pair doesn't have to match — you can choose a different style, sunglasses, safety specs, or contact lenses.
Who qualifies for PRSI optical benefits at Specsavers?
PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance) optical benefits are available to eligible individuals based on their social insurance contribution record. Where you qualify, you can access a free eye test and glasses, as well as a 2 for 1 deal from €53. Check your entitlement status before booking your appointment.
How much can I save with the easycare contact lens subscription?
You can save up to €140 with the easycare contact lens subscription package compared to buying lenses individually. It also handles regular reordering automatically, which is a practical bonus for daily lens wearers. Ask in-store or check the Specsavers website for full details.
Do Specsavers offer glasses for children?
Yes — Specsavers stocks children's frames from recognisable brands including Bluey and adidas Originals, making it easier to find a pair kids will actually want to wear. They also offer specialist myopia management for children using glasses or contact lenses, which is worth asking about in-store if your child's short-sightedness is progressing.
What's included in the complete glasses price from €20?
Specsavers' complete glasses from €20 include the frames, single vision lenses, and scratch-resistant treatment — all in the one price. It's a genuinely all-in figure, not a frame-only price, making it a solid option for a backup or everyday pair.
Can I use a specsavers discount code on any product?
Codes typically have terms attached — they may exclude items already part of a promotional offer, or require a minimum spend. Check the specific terms of any specsavers coupon before checkout, and note that only one code can generally be applied per order.
Do Specsavers offer hearing tests in Ireland?
Specsavers provides a range of audiology services across their Irish stores, including professional earwax removal by trained staff. For details on hearing tests and what's currently available at your nearest branch, it's best to contact your local store directly or check the Specsavers website.
What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and should I get one?
OCT is a detailed scan of the back of the eye that goes further than a standard eye test. It can help detect early signs of eye conditions that wouldn't otherwise show up. Specsavers offers OCT scans in-store — worth asking about if you want a more thorough eye health check.
Can I mix styles in the Specsavers 2 for 1 deal?
Yes — the 2 for 1 offer allows you to mix styles for your second pair. You can also choose sunglasses, safety specs, or contact lenses as the second item rather than a matching frame. It's a flexible deal that's useful beyond just getting a spare pair.
Does Specsavers offer a student discount in Ireland?
Specsavers doesn't currently advertise a dedicated student discount in Ireland. That said, there's still plenty of value on offer: the 2 for 1 deal from €95, complete glasses from €20, and the easycare subscription saving of up to €140 for contact lens wearers are all strong options regardless of student status.

How to Apply a Specsavers Voucher Code at Checkout
Got a Specsavers promo code? Here's how to make sure it works:
-
Add your chosen glasses, contact lenses, or accessories to your basket on the Specsavers website.
-
Proceed to checkout and look for the field labelled 'voucher code' or 'promo code', usually displayed clearly on the order summary page.
-
Type or paste your code into the field and confirm it. The discount should appear in your order total before you complete payment.
-
If the code isn't applying, check whether a minimum spend applies, whether the item is already part of a promotional offer, or whether the code has a single-use limit. Only one code can typically be used per order.
-
If everything looks correct but it still won't apply, double-check the code for extra spaces or typos, as these are the most common cause of errors.
Save Up to €140 with the easycare Contact Lens Subscription
For anyone who wears contact lenses day to day, the easycare subscription package is the standout saving at Specsavers. You can save up to €140 compared to buying lenses on an ad hoc basis. To put that in perspective, it's roughly the cost of a year's worth of takeaway coffees — a meaningful difference that adds up quietly in the background.
Beyond the cost saving, the subscription takes care of regular reordering automatically, so you're not left scrambling when you run low. It's a practical arrangement that works especially well for those on a fixed prescription who know exactly what they need.
If you wear contact lenses regularly, ask about the easycare package in-store or on the Specsavers website — the annual saving alone makes it worth the conversation.
2 for 1 Glasses Deals: From €53 with PRSI, From €95 Without
Specsavers' 2 for 1 offer is their most prominent bundle deal, and the price point depends on whether you're using your PRSI entitlement.
2 for 1 from €95 (General)
Without PRSI, the 2 for 1 deal starts from €95. You choose your first pair of prescription glasses and get a second pair included in the price. The second pair doesn't have to match. You can mix styles, or choose sunglasses, safety specs, or even contact lenses as your second option. That flexibility makes it genuinely useful rather than just a way to get a spare pair in the same frame.
2 for 1 from €53 (PRSI Eligible)
If you're eligible under PRSI, the same 2 for 1 deal starts from €53, a considerably lower entry point. PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance) entitlements cover a range of optical benefits for qualifying individuals based on their social insurance contributions. It's worth checking your eligibility before you visit, as it can make a significant difference to what you pay.
To claim either version of the deal, head in-store or check the current offer on the Specsavers website before your appointment.
Complete Glasses from €20 Including Lenses and Scratch-Resistant Treatment
If budget is the priority, Specsavers' entry-level pricing is genuinely competitive. Complete glasses start from €20, and that price includes single vision lenses and scratch-resistant treatment, not just the frames. That's a meaningful distinction, since many opticians price lenses and coatings separately.
It's a solid option for a backup pair, reading glasses, or anyone who needs a functional prescription without spending a lot. Browse the range on the Specsavers website to see which frames are included at this price point.
Free Eye Test and Glasses for PRSI-Eligible Customers
For those who qualify, this is the most valuable benefit Specsavers offers in Ireland. Eligible customers can receive a free eye test and free glasses through their PRSI entitlement, covering both the test and a pair of glasses at no cost.
PRSI optical benefits are based on your social insurance contribution history, so eligibility varies. If you're unsure whether you qualify, it's straightforward to check through the relevant government channels before booking. Specsavers staff can also help guide you through the process in-store.
Book your eye test at your nearest Specsavers and mention your PRSI entitlement when you arrive.
Specialist Services Worth Knowing About
Specsavers offers a few services that go beyond standard eye tests, and they're worth being aware of when you're booking.
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): a detailed scan of the back of the eye that gives a much more thorough picture of eye health than a standard test alone. Useful for picking up early signs of conditions that wouldn't otherwise be visible.
-
Myopia management for children: Specsavers offers specialist myopia management using glasses or contact lenses, including options from brands like adidas Originals and Bluey — a growing area of concern for parents of children whose short-sightedness is progressing.
-
Earwax removal: trained professionals offer in-store earwax removal as part of Specsavers' audiology services, handy if you'd rather handle it in one visit alongside a hearing check.
These aren't discount offers, but knowing they're available means you can plan a more complete visit and avoid separate appointments elsewhere.
