Is it safe to buy contact lenses online?

[Hunting Valley]

Well, I intend to buy contacts and I heard that contacts online were much cheaper than they are in an optical store, is that true?

Yes, it is true. You can find contact lenses in many shops, but with very expensive price. I can barely afford it either until one day I found there were some online shops with various glasses and contact lenses for sale. What surprised me is the wonder price. At the very begining, I was quite afraid that it might be products with bad quality. Anyway, I tried for the so good price and I found it was just the same product with same brand and same quality but much cheaper price. Since then, I always shop contact lenses and relative care solutions on line. Most people around me shop on line too. I also buy the colored contact lenses on line. I even get one pair for free. You can have a try and you will never regret.

Yes, of course, you can buy contact lenses online. As for the safety consideration, it depend on where you gonna to buy the contact lenses. There are some good quality contact lenses in some good shop online. when it refers to the price, mostly, contact lenses online are cheaper than they were in local shop. As far as i know, lenscrafters and specsavers are reliable shop that provide contact lenses. You can have a try.

Well, yes, in my opinion, it is of course safe to buy contact lenses online. And actually it can be cheaper than the optical stores. And generally speaking, there are many types and brands of contact lenses online. And you need to know what kind of contact lenses you really want. And then, just search them on the internet. For example, to buy them at the cheaper price, I will suggest you buy them at Wal-Mart online stores. And that can be a good choice. By the way, when you wear contact lenses, I have to remind of you that you should make sure your contact lenses are clean and also, just avoid being infected by some allergies and bacteria.
