See The Savings: Buy Your
Contacts Lenses Online
For years, the only option available for purchasing
contact lens was directly from your eye doctor. Most
eye practitioners did not give their patients prescriptions
for contacts that could be filled outside their office.
Even as more retail optical outlets began growing in
popularity, the only option for buying contacts was
still solely from the place where the eye exam was given.
However, thanks to recent legislation, this has all
changed.
You are now legally entitled to a copy of your contact
prescription. Every eye doctor must give you your prescription
if you request it. By having a copy of this prescription,
you can now buy your contact lens from anywhere you
want—even online!
Having the option to purchase your contact lens online
means that you are generally going to pay less than
you would at the local optometrist’s office. Also,
if you like wearing colored contacts, you are going
to have a greater variety of styles to choose from at
a cheaper price. Some online retailers may even be able
to get you your contacts faster than the time it would
take to get them from a local eye practitioner’s
office.
However, don’t forget to shop around at both
online and offline optical outlets. The reason I say
this is because many offline retail optical chains are
beginning to drop their prices and offer special coupons
in order to compensate for the savings offered by their
online competitors.
Buying contacts has never been easier. Prices have
never been lower. Thanks to the Internet and recent
legislation, even individuals on fixed budgets can now
purchase affordable contact lens online. Start shopping
online retailers for your new pair of contact lens today!
