DALLAS, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyemart Express, a Top 10 U.S. optical retailer, announces that from July 30 through Sept. 16, K-12 educators who purchase one or more pairs of glasses will earn free pairs for their schools' students who need them.

The Buy 1, Give 1 promotion, along with the everyday 20-percent off Educator Discount, further underscores Eyemart Express' commitment to serving those who service our community by offering exclusive programs that benefit teachers and staff – and now students.

Eyemart's Educators Care campaign allows educators to earn free glasses for kids in need.

K-12 educators (with a valid ID badge) make a purchase at any of the company's 175 stores across its family of brands – Eyewear Express, Vision4Less and VisionMart Express – then use their unique code on the company's website to either print or send a voucher to their school's nurse, who will then distribute vouchers to students with vision needs.

Purchasers can even use their vision insurance to get a free second pair of their own while also still being able to give a third pair.

"We began this initiative last year with the only goal being to give teachers a way to help those students they see every day who struggle with vision issues," says Paula Puleo Blomquist, chief marketing officer of Eyemart Express.

"We received such a positive response from the campaign last year that we have decided to continue our 'Buy 1, Give 1' program again to help address the vision needs of students who might otherwise go overlooked."

The offer is open to only those employed by an accredited K12 public, private, or parochial school with a valid school employee ID badge: teachers, guidance counselors, principals, reading coaches, janitors, cafeteria employees, and bus drivers. Codes will be given through August 19 and must be redeemed by Sept. 16.
