Following is a list of things to remember when shopping for contacts.
Schedule an eye exam.
Discuss your contacts options with your eye care provider.
Decide on color options and vision correction options (bifocals, astigmatism, etc.)
Get the prescription.
Get prices from your local contacts source.
Shop online looking at contacts available and prices.
How much will shipping cost?
Look for user feedback on online stores.
Is the online savings enough to make it worth the trouble?
Decide on a store to order.
Provide prescription info to contacts store.
It’s often faster and cheaper to buy cheap contact lenses online. Local stores don’t stock nearly all the contacts available, so very likely your contacts won’t be on the shelf. The result is often the contact you need will be ordered. That means you wait for days, maybe weeks, to get lenses that you could get faster and cheaper by ordering online.
