Buy Contacts Online

Buying contact lenses online is easy and convenient. But keep in mind that your health is the most important factor when it comes to finding contact lenses online. As you know there are many online contact lense retailers and sometimes it can be confusing finding the right store.

Below are some easy to follow steps to make sure you get the right contact lenses at the right price.

Get started by following these guidelines:

1. Check that you have a valid Rx from your Optometrist!

Did you go to your eye exam? Online contact lens stores are legally only allowed to sell you the contact lenses prescribed by your optometrist and will verify your doctor´s prescription!
Does your medical insurance cover contact lenses and eye exam or do you need to cover it personally?
Check if your current health insurance maybe has partnered with a particular store in order to offer rebates to members. Once you checked the prices, come back to contactlens-md.com and verify you really got the lowest price available.

2. Compare and verify Online Contact Lens Stores

It´s important that you verify and compare the different online contact lens retailers, because you want to make sure to buy from a company that has all lenses in stock in order for you to get your order in a timely manner. Obviously the bigger the company the larger the customer service team that is ready to assist you. Another important thing to consider is, that you might want to find an online contact lens retailer with a good reputation and history of satisfied clients, when it comes to product and credit creturns.

It certainly is a good thing to do a research in forums, better business bureaus and other consumer information resources before placing an order with a particular online contact lens retailer. From a technical standpoint you should also make sure that the lens retailer in question uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology to insure the safety of your personal data, like prescription, credit card information and adress during the transmission to their server.

3. Compare contact lens prices

Once you finished your check-ups, you need to find out which online lens retailer has the best price for your contacts. Often the differences are vast between the different online stores and even bigger between regular brick and motar stores and online shops. The savings online result from lower overhead cost of online stores, because they don´t have the extra cost of maintaining physical stores in each city.

When you start comparing the different prices, consider additional factors like rebates, shipping and maybe handling charges that could apply.

Here a few things to consider before buying:

• Always compare the final price, including shipping and handling fees.
• See if buying larger quantities gets you a better price or free shipping.
• Make sure there are no hidden charges before checking out.
• Check back often to compare prices as changes occur frequently.

Don´t forget!
Your health is the most important factor and you are advised to consult with your eye care practitioner and / or doctor frequently. In case you develop watery eyes, itchiness or any other kind of irritation, please call your local optician immediately.
