Understand your Contact Lens Prescription
Contact Lens Prescription
You need to understand your contact lens prescription before you can safely order lenses over the internet.
See this page for details on how to read your prescription and make a note of the relevant numbers such as BC, Dia and most importantly, the POWER. If you're just buying fashion cosmetic lenses as you don't need them to correct your vision, then you will just order ZERO or 0.0 for Power.
How to Order Contact Lenses Online
Once you have your contact lens prescription and know which BRAND and PRODUCT ie. name of lens you use...go to an online contact lens retailer like AC Lens and search for your contact lenses by BRAND - this is usually the quickest way to find the one you use.
Check the price and make a note, then check at least two other sites, such as Vision Direct, or Discount Contact Lenses to compare prices.
You will need to compare single box prices and also multi-buy prices, usually denoted by the term "lowest price" - this simply means you get a discount if you order a minimum of 4 or 8 boxes.
Once you have found the cheapest price, check whether any further discounts are available such as free shipping for first time customers, 1st purchase coupon codes, or additional discounts for ordering contact lens solution or eye drops at the same time.
Enter your name and shipping address details, then place your order. A reputable optical company like the one I use will send an immediate order confirmation via e-mail and then update you as the order is processed, usually within 24 hours. They will also keep you informed if there are any problems with the order, for example, some heavy items like contact lens solutions cannot be shipped outside the US.
So you see it's really easy to buy contacts online and save lots of money. I now order a year's supply of lenses in one go (8 boxes), saving $$$.
