Order
contacts online – things you need to know
 You
can order contacts online and get a great
discount. It is easy and safe when you are dealing with
a reputable retailer. If you order
contact lenses online they usually arrive to your
mailbox within 3-4 days (10-15 days for international
orders).
How to place contact lens order
First you will have to obtain a copy of your prescription
from your eye doctor. Some optometrists are reluctant
to give patients their prescriptions, because they don’t
want you to order your lenses online, they want you to
order contacts from their office. They might also say
that lenses sold online are of inferior quality. This
isn’t true. Contacts sold online are exactly the
same lenses from the same manufacturers as the doctor
sells you.
It is your consumer right to have a written copy of your
prescription so you can shop around and order
discount contact lenses online.
When you have your prescription, you can go online and
place your contact lens order.
Ordering contact lens online isn’t
at all difficult. First select the lens you are prescribed.
Make sure you select the exact brand name and lens name. For
example Acuvue and
Acuvue 2 are two different lenses,
and if you prescribed Acuvue you shouldn’t order Acuvue
2 and vice versa.
Then select the correct power and base curve
for each eye. The retailer will also ask how many boxes you
want. Generally it is cheaper to order several boxes at a
time – you can get free shipping and additional discounts.
Large contact lens companies sometimes have
contact lens sale, so
you can get additional discount off already cheap lenses.
Order color contacts for less
Color
contacts can do wonders for your eyes, and even people
who don’t need vision correction can wear them. Online
you can order color contacts for less. However, it is wrong
to assume that you can order contact lens with no prescription.
Colored lenses require
prescription, even if they are plano (no correction)
