A hassle-free guide to ordering contact lenses online
There are around four million contact lens users in the UK, proving that lenses are a popular choice of vision correction for many. A lot of people choose to buy their contact lenses through their local optician, believing it to be the most convenient and affordable way of buying lenses. However, buying contact lenses online is a much easier and cheaper way, and this guide will explain just how easy the process is.
Selecting the right lenses
Online retailers provide a huge range of contact lens brands such as Acuvue and Dailies. Optician-equivalent lenses are also available to buy online, allowing customers to find the exact lenses they buy from opticians for less.
When choosing contact lenses, factors such as the lens material, breathability and the wearing type should be taken into consideration. This decision should always be made with a contact lens optician who will assess an individual’s lifestyle needs and general eye health to ensure the correct brand of lenses is recommended. Once a prescription and product recommendation has been given, this information can be used to order lenses online to save both time and money.
Fast delivery
Many eye care retailers offer fast next day delivery, which is perfect for times when contact lenses are needed quickly. There are even contact lens auto-refill services that will automatically send contact lenses in a preferred prescription through the post without having to order them each time. Ordering lenses online offers incredible convenience, as the order can be made on the go, whether someone is on their commute or out for lunch with friends, an order can be made quickly and easily at a time that suits them.
Non-prescription/plano lenses
For those that do not require vision correction, many coloured contact lenses are also available to buy without a prescription online. For special events such as costumecostumes parties, Halloween and birthdays, coloured lenses are a safe and fun way to enhance someone’s look. It’s still important to have a contact lens fitting, even when purchasing plano lenses, to ensure that the lenses fit the eye correctly for comfort during wear. Some choose to buy their Halloween lenses from costume shops and market stalls that don’t have the guidance of a qualified contact lens optician. Contact lenses are medical devices and should only be bought from reputable retailers that work with opticians.
Why contact lens wearers prefer ordering online
Many people prefer to buy their contact lenses online because buying them from opticians are a lot more expensive. Physical stores have more overheads and expenses to contend with, which forces them to charge more for their lenses. Online retailers like Feel Good Contacts offer competitively priced lenses as well as a price match guarantee to ensure their customers always get the best price. As well as price, ordering online is easy, and fast and, expert optical guidance can be given from these retailers to ensure contact lens wearers are always get the help that they need.
How to order contact lenses online
It’s easy to order contact lenses online. All someone must do is enter their prescription details, add the contact lenses to their basket and checkout. A contact lens prescription must be obtained within the last two years to be valid. It’s important to have eyes tested at least every two years in case someone’s vision has changed, and their prescription needs to be updated. Regular eye tests will also help to diagnose eye conditions before they can progress which could potentially prevent blindness. Some may need their eyes tested more regularly if they have a condition which affects their eyes, such as diabetes.
