What if I don’t remember which contact lenses I need or which quantity to order?
Not to worry! Enter an estimated quantity and “N/A” in the ‘type of lenses’ box. When we contact you, we will look up what the doctor has prescribed before discussing quantities and pricing.
What if my prescription is from another clinic?
We need to see a copy of the original prescription. This can be sent to us by fax or email.
How long is my contact lens prescription valid for?
Your prescription is valid for 1 year. However, because we are currently unable to see patients, we are honoring your prescription for 2 years.
How do I pay?
At this time, we are preferring to take payment over the phone to limit contact.
Can my contact lenses be shipped directly to my home address?
