Support Female Empowerment With A New Look

International Women’s Day (IWD) is just around the corner again, and although you could be forgiven for thinking it’s just another day, it holds a lot of importance - for a lineup of good reasons.

The first IWD was observed in 1911 to take action against women’s oppression and gender inequality, and since then it’s been celebrated every year on March 8 to celebrate women’s achievements, to raise awareness about women’s rights, to promote gender-parity and to fundraise for female-focused charities. In 2021, to honour IWD, one of the world’s leading eyewear e-tailers, VisionDirect.com.au, is offering an eight per cent discount site wide along with an extra special 30 per cent off its exclusive SmartBuy Collection for women. 

The SmartBuy Collection is a high-quality affordable eyewear brand offering more than 500 pairs of stylish glasses in a wide variety of shapes, materials and colours. Frame prices start at just $16 and includes free 1.5 prescription lenses and there is something for everyone whether you are looking for a pair of day-to-day glasses, a new look, or something special for an upcoming trip.

Shopping the SmartBuy Collection isn’t just a great opportunity to refresh your personal style. By having your eyes checked and updating your glasses, it can also put an end to common vision-related problems such as eye tiredness, eye strain or dry eyes, whether you’re at home, at work or on your travels. And there’s more. By purchasing a pair of glasses from the SmartBuy range, you’ll also be helping to eliminate preventable child deaths through its special partnership with World Vision. This collaboration supports Mother & Child Health programs in Zambia, making the world a better place - one frame at a time. 

If you’re in the market for some new glasses or sunglasses, here are just a few on-trend top picks for stylish glasses and sunglasses which you can buy at VisionDirect.com.au this International Women’s Day.
