1. Buy Contact Lenses Online
If you are a contact lens wearer you would no doubt like to find a source
of discount contact lenses that is quick, easy and convenient as well as
offering low prices. Many online optical stores offer just this and there are
many to choose from.
There are significant benefits to ordering online:
• The main benefit associated with ordering and purchasing contact
lenses on the internet is cost. Discount contact lenses are available
from many sites and the savings are often significant compared to
buying from a local optician. If you want to avoid the research,
details of the store at which we saw regular lowest prices are
available via this link - contact lenses online.
• The second significant benefit is that it is more convenient. You can
place an order when you need to from anywhere at any time.
You do however need to understand the regulations controlling the sale of
contact lenses online. This means that buying discount contact lenses is
not quite as easy as many other online purchases. The United States
regulations state that:
• Online stores sell replacement contact lenses - This means that
before you can order contact lenses online you must have a valid
prescription (which usually means within the last 12 months). You
should also have worn the contracts prescribed for a period without
any problems.
• Internet sellers must check the prescription data you input - This
means that as well as entering your prescription details you will
also have to enter details of the professional who issued the
prescription. The supplier must then get in contact with this
individual or company to make sure that the information you
supplied is right. If there is any problem this must be raised within
one business day. In practice the result is that the supplier cannot
implement the order before the end of the business day after it was
placed. You can sometimes avoid this delay by faxing the original
prescription or scanning it and emailing the copy.
The good news is that most sites will save your data, so any subsequent
purchases are quicker and easier. Also on the positive side this process
does mean that you can be confident that the discount contact lenses you
receive will be identical to those you might have bought from your
optician but at a lower price.
Buying Glasses Online
Although it is not immediately obvious there are significant issues if you
want to purchase eyeglasses online compared with contact lenses. With
contact lenses you are simply ordering replacements based on a detailed
prescription including the brand, so you know exactly what you are
getting. When buying glasses there are numerous decisions to be made
and, of course, you are unable to actually wear the frames before you
purchase them. Nevertheless these matters should not stop you because
there a great savings to be made, see buy glasses online.
