Purchasing Discount Contact Lenses

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 eyecare professional won't fit comfortably.

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