Secrets
to Know Before You Buy Contact Lens
By

Do you wear contacts,
but only buy them from your eye doctor?
Are you looking for a better alternative
to buy contact lenses? If you have
thought about buying your contacts from
a source other than your eye care
professional, you are not alone. The
amount of people with a contact lens
prescription that buy their contacts
online or from warehouses is growing.
What do you need to know before you buy
contact lenses?
When you buy contact
lenses, you need to focus on value and
not on price alone. The overall value
includes the availability of the
contacts that you use, if they accept
your insurance (and if you need to do
paperwork or if they do it for you),
ease of getting the contacts (do they
deliver), their customer service
department and price. Taking all of
these points into consideration will
help you to find the absolute best value
for you.
The best places to
start your search are, of course, your
eye doctor, the internet and wholesale
retailers as well as mail order houses.
Be sure that you know exactly what type
of contact lens you need to purchase
before you agree to anything. Ask about
their return policy if you receive a
contact lens other than what you
ordered.
You may be starting
your search for contacts with
preconceived notions as to which are the
best source to buy contact lenses, throw
those out! Do not discount any place
that sells contacts, look into what they
have to offer and what their prices are;
you might be surprised at where you will
find the best quality and price.
Did you know that you
have the right to have your contact (and
glasses) prescription copied so that you
can shop around for eyewear? The
legislation, in Feb. 2004 gave that
right to consumers in all 50 states.
This means that you do not have to buy
contact lenses only from your eye care
practitioner. You can shop around
anywhere that contacts are sold. Doing
this gives you a better selection at a
better price.
