With the fast paced age of the internet, there are so many places to purchase contact lenses.  You are no longer restricted to visiting your local eye care store or optometrist to purchase contact lenses at low prices.  Most online stores will give you great discounts, 2 for 1 deals, and free shipping on your eye care products.

 

Legislation recently went into effect which allows all consumers the right to a copy of their contact lens prescriptions, allowing them to purchase contact lenses from places other than their own eye care professional.  What this means for the consumer is that you can now buy from warehouse clubs, internet sites and optical chains.

 

If you plan to purchase contact lenses online, make sure you do your homework!  Choose a retailer that you have heard good things about, or that your friends or family recommend.  Remember to compare prices and also find out about shipping policies, product availability and reliable customer service.  You will also want to make sure your purchase is covered if it is lost or damaged.
