Cheap contact lenses are readily available online. To buy contact lenses online you will need to have your prescription at hand, in most cases this will be found on your contact lense box. Cheap contacts do not have to be inferior – these discount contact lenses are the same brands you buy from the high street – except the overheads are lower – so you get them cheaper.

I need to order some disposable contact lenses in a hurry as I’ve just realised I’ve run out. I don’t have a current contact lense prescription (every website I’ve checked states that you must have a test that is less than a year old). Can anyone recommend a reliable site that ships to the UK and one where you don’t need to put in your optician’s details?

You can’t, it’s the law, they all have to request a prescription. You will have to get one done – if you ring around the opticians you should be able to get one sorted soon.

Throughout Los Angeles, lasik eye surgery is offered by skilled surgeons that provide detailed care for your eyes. When your eyes are developing, the cornea of your eye can develop in the wrong shape. Just being slightly extended can cause you to lose some vision in your eyes where others would have perfect vision. Each person has their own level of difficulty with this, but your doctor will work with you to alter the shape of your eye using lasik so that your eye’s can ultimately improve to better vision. One thing that you will want to learn about though, is the role that contact lenses play in lasik surgery.

Although there are many ideal locations and surgeons that can provide some pretty complex procedures in Los Angeles, lasik eye surgery does require you to do a few things for yourself. For starters, you need to stop wearing your contact lenses at least a few days, preferably longer, before you talk with your doctor about lasik. Contact lenses can change the shape of your eyes which means that your doctor can not provide you with a clear diagnosis until they have come back from this shape.

If you wear hard contact lenses, you need to keep them out of your eyes at least four full weeks before having your evaluation. For those that have toric soft lenses or RGP contacts, at least three weeks is advisable. If you wear soft contact lenses, you still need to remove them and keep them out for at least two weeks prior to being screened. If you don’t do this, your doctor can not get an accurate measurement and therefore can’t do as successful of a procedure on you.

When you meet with your Los Angeles lasik professional, they will instruct you on the specifics for your case. Take a few minutes and ask about contact lens usage.

If you happen to order any kind of prescription through a website that doesn’t contact your doctor to verify, I would be very weary – you don’t know what they could be giving you.

The person above me who posted about any place selling you contacts without verifying that you have a valid prescription losing their license is absolutely 100% correct. Its like going to your pharmacy and trying to get an expired prescription filled for an anti-inflammatory or a pain medication, or even your birth control prescription. It may be the same prescription, but they won’t allow you any refills until you’ve been to the doctor FIRST. Same thing with your contacts.

Part of the responsibility of being given a prescription for contacts is seeing your eye doctor annually so they can renew the Rx for you…and browneyedgirl is right…if you cannot afford to make annual appointments with your eye doctor, then perhaps glasses would be better for you. I agree that exams can be costly, but when you figure the cost and repercussions that come with being irresponsible and lax about the health of your eyes, its far more expensive to NOT see your eye doctor annually. Your doctor also reserves the right to refuse fitting you with contacts anymore if you do not follow the doctor’s and the FDA’s regulations…

Sorry to sound preachy…but them’s da brakes, Sweet Chic!

And to LC above me….yeah, I’m sure there are sites that sell them – ILLEGALLY…in order to obtain them LEGALLY and to eliminate the risk of infection and complications, she needs to be seen ANNUALLY for an exam. You can take your ignorance AND you bad language and go pound sand cuz I gave you a thumbs down, too

***There are no websites where you can purchase ANY type of prescription medications WITHOUT a valid prescription. They MUST check and verify everything with your doctor BEFORE they confirm and ship an order. You CANNOT buy vicodin, or oxycontin, or birth control pills online LEGALLY without supplying site with your doctor’s name, address, and phone and/or fax number. And I don’t care HOW long you’ve been wearing contacts…LEGALLY YOU CANNOT PURCHASE THEM WITHOUT A VALID RX.

If you don’t like the answers you’re getting, then don’t ask the question – because you KNOW the answer already. Google it and see what you come up with. Good luck with that, Sweetchic.

In the office I work in, we get phone calls all the time from 1800-CONTACTS and its an automated recording that supplies us with the patient’s name, DOB, address, and also the prescription that was given to them by the patient. We pull the file and if the exam is expired, we will not verify it…plain and simple. Any good eye doctor will not simply renew a prescription because the patient is in the unique position of being "low on flow" for an exam. The doctor may let you purchase a box, or give you a few trial pairs to hold you over, under the condition that you will schedule an appointment. But they are under no obligation to cut you ANY slack because you’re money is tight. The doctor’s office has policies and they are willing to bend a little – to an extent. But I doubt it very much that your eye doctor will simply renew your Rx for another year because you cannot afford an exam. And I think any eye care professional on Y!A will agree…especially since if the person were to come down with some type of infection or complication and the doctor renewed the Rx without seeing the patient, the doctor’s office can then be held liable…

Do you have to go to opticians or are they available in grocery stores as well? I tried looking up Target but they don’t seem to sell any brands at all. If you could provide shop names it would be very helpful! Thanks!

Target does have it. No, you don’t need a prescription.
Pretty much any pharmacy store (CVS, Rite aid, Walgreens, Walmart, Target) will have it. :0)
