Eyenvisioncare Store & Info Center

If you are about to purchase any kind of contact lenses, even the ones used for acting and modeling purposes you have to have a prescription. In the US and Canada this is the law.

Even if you do not need contact lenses to see with you do need to have them fit properly. Every lens prescription at the very least includes 2 measurements. One for the base curve and one for the diameter. These two measurements make sure the contacts are the right curve to cover your eye and that the edges of the lens reach far enough to not be in the way of your vision. The laws also say that who ever writes the prescription also includes the brand of lenses you want to buy. Once you have that you can buy contacts where ever you choose.

You Can Buy Where you got your Prescription

This is a good choice if this is your first pair. Most optometrist’s (or ophthalmologist’s) offices sell contact lenses. Then the eye specialist can talk to you about other things such as proper care and follow-up appointments. After you comfortable with your lenses you can explore other buying option to save money or be more convenience for you. Most optometrist will recommend you buy your first pair there and it is a good idea but also good to shop around later.

But the biggest advantage of getting you lenses at you optometrists is the convenience should there be a problem with the contacts. Then they can fix the problem right away. While it doesn’t happen often it can and nice to know you have the experts there to help. The downside is the this special service has a price and that’s reflected in the lenses cost. So if you like that kind of service and don’t care about the cost then you can’t beat getting your contacts from an optometrist.

Retail outlets and Internet

In the old days, the optometrist office was the only place to buy Contact lenses. Then retail outlets sprung up then of course now we have the Internet. If you have what is thought of as a common prescription then for the most part you can just walk into a eye-wear retail store and walk out with a set of contacts that fit you. their service is good and some even have eye care specialists working there to assistance should you need them. Be sure to check the return policy just in case there’s a problem.

Buying contact lenses online is very good way to go nowadays. Ordering is simple and so is comparing to get the lowest price. Once you’ve found an online store, you’ll need to fax them your prescription along with your order. The prescription will need validation,they call the person who issued your prescription. I you do this during business hours it won’t take long.

Buying contact lenses online is fast, convenient and at a price you want to pay, but be sure of your online store before ordering.
