Your Daily Contact Lenses Guide


Where Online to get Contact Lenses

Before the Internet the only way a person could get a pair of contact lenses was to visit their optometrist. Now, as long as a person has a prescription, getting contact lenses is as simple as logging on the ‘Net, choosing the desired lens and making the purchase. All a person has to do at this point is to wait for their contact lenses to be shipped to their door.

Indeed, what can be any more convenient than online contact lenses? The only difficulty is trying to find where online contact lenses are on the Internet.

Online prescription contact lens retailers

There are the types of stores that sell contact lenses that correct common visual problems. The only decorative lenses sold by these types of sites are those that are colorized, with the colors being those normally found in the human eye.

A very popular site for buying contact lenses online is 1800Contacts.com. This site offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If a customer is not happy with their purchase, they can exchange it for another one, as long as the box is unopened. 1800Contacts.com has an inventory of over 20 million contact lenses from many of the brand-name companies including Acuvue, Biomedics and Cibasoft. Oddly enough, they do not offer Bausch & Lomb contact lenses.

To purchase this brand a person can visit JustLenses.com, another online store specializing in prescriptive contact lenses. JustLenses.com is not as popular as 1800Contacts.com, but it tends to offer more discounts. In fact, on its home page, JustLenses.com boasts of offering up to 70 percent off on many of their contact lenses.

If neither JustLenses.com nor 1800Contacts.com seems interesting there is VisionDirect.com. Like its competitors, VisionDirect.com offers many brand-name lenses. They also make a lowest price guarantee; if their price is not the lowest a customer is eligible for a 5 percent refund. VisionDirect.com also offers free shipping for orders over $99.

Novelty contact lenses

There are the stores that sell novelty contact lenses. Also known as theatrical contact lenses, novelty contact lenses are designed to decorate the eye with unusual colors and designs. Some are like a regular lens, others cover the sclera.
In terms of vision correction, novelty contacts can provide some or they can be plano.

The most well-known website offering novelty contact lenses online is 9mmsfx.com. Unlike some of the other websites described, 9mmsfx.com does not offer any guarantees, discounts or free shipping. Their prices are also very expensive, but then again their clientele consists mainly of studio production agents and actors. This does not mean that an average person can’t buy from them; they should just be prepared to know that cost-wise they will be investing a lot of money to look ‘cool’.

The best places to find online contact lenses are 1800Contacts, JustLenses.com, VisionDirect.com and 9mmsfx.com, (for novelty contact lenses). Granted, a trip to the optometrist won’t be completely eliminated if one decides to use these sites since they still have to get a prescription. However, once the prescription is obtained they are free to buy online contact lenses from these sites as often as they need to.
