Freebies
last updated 5/5/25
What are Freebies?
Freebies are our way of upcycling and finding creative ways to share with low-income clients.
Items that end up on our Freebie list may have come to us any of the following ways:
- Item was superficially damaged (outer packaging partly crushed, scuffed, etc) in transit to us, so we didn't want to sell it, but the product itself was fine.
- Item was returned to us unused and still sealed.
- Item was returned to us after having been tried on or perhaps gently used.
- Item was donated (new and sealed or, for durable goods, gently used)
- Item is a sample provided by a manufacturer.
What condition are they in?
FUNCTIONALITY: We only add things to Freebies if we are confident that they are in perfect working order.
CLEANLINESS: We recommend pre-washing any durable goods that will be used near your eyes. Our normal practice with goggles, glasses and devices is to wipe everything down thoroughly before packaging.
LABELS: We always prefer to keep things in their original packaging, but that's not always possible if the packaging has been discarded or is unhygienic. For complete product labeling, please refer to the detailed product description on this site or reach out to us anytime.
The honor system
Please respect our honor system :)
Freebies are intended for people in specially challenging financial circumstances - for example, those who are on small fixed incomes with no room in the budget for the high cost of over-the-counter eye care products, or people who are out of work or struggling due to other special personal circumstances.
When there are items that we have a lot of and are no longer prioritizing, we'll put a (*) next to them.
How do I order a freebie?
Call or email.
Please don't worry if you don't hear from us immediately. We handle requests in the order in which they are received, and we'll reserve your item for you even if we can't get back to you immediately.
All freebie offers are subject to availability. We do our best to keep this list current and try as much as possible to assist customers with special needs and circumstances.
Freebies are free, but we ask that you pay shipping, which is how we keep this program sustainable. You can certainly combine freebies with another order, but depending on what you're getting (size/weight) it's possible that more shipping may be due.
Can I get more than one?
Certainly, in principle. In practice, it depends on how much we have and how much demand we have for it.
Moisture chamber glasses are always only 1 per customer. Please do not use Freebies as a way to try them on or try them out - contact 7Eye for their trial fitting service instead.
I'm an eye care provider. Can I get freebies for patients?
Yes! If you're an eye care provider looking for something for a low-income patient, please call or email. We love to work with ECPs who are looking out for their patients in this way.
Freebie list
These items go fast when we send a newsletter mentioning Freebies. We apologize if the item you need is not available when you ask.
