How much are contacts, where to find them, and how to get them

To order contact lenses online, be sure to do the following:

1. Find a reputable online contact lens retailer such as Lens.com
2. See your eye care practitioner
3. Get an eye exam and fitted for lenses
4. Take a copy of your prescription home with you, as well as a copy of your ECP’s name, number, and address
5. Enter all the pertinent information on the lens retailer’s site and order the lenses your ECP has recommended

To get contact lenses, be sure to do the following:

1. Visit your eye care practitioner. You may visit either an optometrist or an ophthalmologist.
2. Get an eye exam and a contact lens fitting.
3. Get a copy of your contact lens prescription.
4. Order the recommended lenses either online or from your ECP.

The cost of contact lenses varies and depends on a number of factors, including:

• Where you buy them
• Your insurance
• The type of contacts you need

To get the best price on your contact lenses, it’s wise to shop around. Buying contacts online is typically cheaper than buying them from an eye care practitioner.
