Where to Buy Contacts Online

When it comes time to purchase contact lenses, it's not just about quality but affordability too. Many insurance plans only offer discount programs to purchase contacts, and some offer nothing at all. Fortunately, there are many providers who now offer contacts online and discount sites that offer them at a lower price than brick-and-mortar vision stores. If you have vision insurance, check with your insurance carrier to see if they will cover purchasing online.

  1. 1-800-CONTACTS

    • 1-800-CONTACTS is a discount website service affiliated with Wal-Mart. They offer contacts at a discounted price and will deliver to your door. They also will exchange unopened boxes of contacts if your prescription changes and they have a price guarantee. If you find the sane exact contacts cheaper, they'll refund the difference. To order, enter your prescription and your doctor's information for verification; the process can take one business day. You can also fax them the prescription to skip the verification step.

    Contacts America

    • Contacts America also claims to have the lowest prices in America. You will need your prescription or doctor's contact information if you are getting the lens information off of your current box. Federal law requires a prescription or confirmation with the doctor. Contacts America has a fax option, and you can order by phone. Contacts America offers an automatic reorder process or an email reminder service when it's time to reorder.

    Just Lenses

    • Just Lenses offers more than 200 brands of contact lenses at discount prices. Like the other two services, they require either your prescription or your doctor's name, address and phone number for verification. Just Lenses offers the option of scanning your prescription and emailing it to them. It has a 30-day return policy, but you must return all "unopened and sealed contact lens vials or boxes."

    Prescriptions

    • All contact lens prescriptions have an expiration date. None of the above services can be filled if the prescription has expired.
