Essilor (依视路) AiZan (爱赞) myopia lenses cut to about 275 yuan in 618·524 flash sale

Flash sale: premium lenses at a fraction of the price

It has been reported that Essilor (依视路)’s AiZan (爱赞) 1.60 Full‑Clarity‑coated single‑vision myopia lenses — marketed in China as 爱赞全晰·钻晶膜致防蓝光近视眼镜（1.60） — are being offered for roughly ¥274.48 (≈¥275) in platform flash-sales tied to the 618·524 promotions. Retail listings for the same product vary widely; some sellers show regular prices in the range of ¥1,190 to ¥2,380, making the advertised flash price a dramatic markdown. The deals are time‑sensitive and move fast — hence the “1‑minute fast pass” language used by sellers.

How shoppers can claim the price

Reportedly the sale combines platform coupons (PLUS or similar memberships), stackable red‑envelope promotions, and an official “invoice prize” (有奖发票) mechanism operated through Alipay, WeChat, UnionPay (云闪付), JD and Douyin. To participate, it has been reported that consumers need a single tax invoice for consumption in one of eight covered sectors (retail, dining, accommodation, travel, culture, sports, entertainment and household services) with a single invoice total ≥ ¥100 and the invoice header matching the buyer’s ID. The draws are city‑specific and a given invoice can only be entered once, though it can reportedly be submitted on any supporting platform; WeChat submissions may require uploading a PDF. If one platform yields no luck, users often switch platforms to try their chances again.

Why this matters

Deep, time‑limited discounts and platform tricks are now a feature of China’s mid‑year shopping calendar. Why the aggressive push? Partly to jump‑start domestic consumption as local growth has slowed and global trade frictions remain a backdrop to Chinese tech and retail strategy. For bargain hunters the math looks attractive — but buyers should read the fine print on invoicing rules, platform limits and return policies before assuming they’ve scored a long‑term bargain.
