The difference: Online sites are often able to offer the lenses at savings of up to 70 percent compared to retail outlets. The sites offer discounts, rebates and, in many cases, free shipping. So, the next time you need a new pair of lenses, consider purchasing discount contacts online.

Shopping online for discount contacts

Consider ordering your contact lenses from a supplier you are familiar with or a supplier who is recommended to you by your eye care professional. A variety of reliable online sites that offer discount contact lenses are readily available.

Purchasing discount contacts

Don't purchase from any contact lens supplier that does not require a valid prescription. Suppliers who do this are illegally attempting to sell you a prescription product as an over-the-counter device. If you use the supplier, your eye health could be greatly compromised with serious infections, some which can even lead to vision loss. In addition, contact lenses that are not properly fitted by your eye care professional won't fit comfortably.

When you receive your discount contact lenses, be sure the product is exactly what you ordered. If it is not, return the lenses directly to the company that supplied them.

If you have questions about purchasing discount contacts from online suppliers, talk to your eye care professional.
