Ordering contacts

Whether you are buying contact lenses for the first time or just refilling an order, there are a few thing you need to know about your prescription.

Power – this is a number with a plus or minus in front of it that shows the type and strength of the correction you need. A plus would be for nearsighted people and a negative number would be for farsighted people.

BC – (base curve) this basically indicates how the lens is made (how curved it is) and it is a one decimal number ranging from 8.x to 9.x, usually in increments of 0.2.

DIA – this is the diameter of the lens, and it varies from 13.x to 14.x, and also usually increases by 0.2 increments.

Sale contacts

Retailers normally have sales on various contact brands. Research your local eye stores and ask about various sales or discount they might have. Normally, buying a supply for a longer time (6 months or a year) allows you to save more.

Discount contact lenses online

There are numerous online retailers that offer discount contact lenses. Make sure they ask for a prescription and make sure to purchase the lenses that have the exact prescription your doctor recommended. Do a quick search on various websites to find the best price and/or manufacturer discount contacts coupons that you can print and take to your nearest eye store.

Safety tips

• Always make sure to purchase contacts made by FDA approved manufacturers.

• Do not purchase from websites or retailers that do not require your prescription information.

• Make sure you purchase the exact type of lenses your doctor recommended to you; any compromise in that issue can lead to significant health hazards.
• Make sure to properly follow the cleaning and wearing instructions provided to you by your doctor.
