Buying Lenses Online

Twinkletoes4

Hi,

I'm planning to buy my next batch of lenses online. My friend does it but says you must have a prescription from your optician first to send to the online company. Is this true for all companys? If not, which company do you not need to forward your prescription on to?

You don't need one for www.discountcontactlenses.com. I have used them a few times and they are reliable. Just be sure to have your check-up every 2 years to make sure your eyesight hasn't changed.

I think you should read this first to be on the safe side!


new studies have concluded that the risk of eye disease associated with internet/mail order purchase of contact lenses is nearly five times higher than when lenses were brought from an optician..

so now i dont, i think its worth not to be cheap when your eyes are involved
