Discount Contact Lens

All you have to do is Google “discount contact lens,” and you’ll get more than 22 million hits, with many of the sites claiming they can save you up to 70%. You’ll also see sites offering promo codes, coupons and rebates, and some sites even offer to do the comparison shopping for you. How do you sort through this mess and find a trustworthy source for discount contact lenses?

Before you begin your search for discount contact lenses, be sure your prescription hasn’t expired. Any reputable online vendor will require a current valid Rx. So if you’re due for an examination, take care of that first. And while you’re at the eye doctor’s office, find out what he or she charges for contact lenses. Some high-volume practices may actually meet or beat the discounters and offer conveniences like automatic shipping and e-mail reminders. If you decide to shop online for discount contact lenses, take the same precautions you would for any online purchase. Check the company’s guarantee and return policies, look for any fine print that might add to the cost of your purchase, and check online reviews. Be aware, too, that some of the larger vendors that offer discount contact lenses probably keep a larger inventory of the most popular brands and prescriptions, so you may be able to have your lenses in a matter of days versus weeks from smaller vendors that have to order lenses from the manufacturer when they receive orders.

Savvy shoppers can save money by buying discount contact lenses. Just be a careful consumer. Don’t accept opened boxes or expired lenses, and don’t change brands without asking your eye doctor first. After all, your vision and the health of your eyes depend on it.
