| Here are some tips to help your online contact lens purchase go smoothly. Finding The Right Contact Lens Store Online Although buying contact lenses online can save you a great deal of money, you need to find a reputable retailer. The easiest way to know you are shopping at a respectable store is to do your research first. Read reviews of the online store. To see if the store offers good customer service, send them an email asking a question before you make a purchase. If they respond promptly and courteously, this is a good sign that they will take care of you once you are a customer. You should also check to make sure the store has a reasonable return and exchange policy. If there is something wrong with your delivered lenses, you need to make sure you can get the lenses you need quickly, without additional cost to you. Watch Out For Shipping Costs One way that some contact lens websites try to increase their revenue is by charging high shipping costs. Before you start to order your contact lenses, check to see what the shipping cost will be. If the retailer does not let you see the shipping cost before check out, you might want to find another place to buy your contacts. You can save money by finding an online store that offers free shipping with a minimum purchase. You might need to buy several boxes of contact lenses in order to qualify, but this option can save you money in the long run. Getting Your Prescription Information Usually you can get your prescription information with just a phone call to your optometrist. However, occasionally difficulties can occur. Sometimes eye doctors try to withhold information about your contact prescription. This is because they want you to want to buy their overpriced contacts instead of shopping online to save money. While most eye doctors are honest, you might encounter an unscrupulous business. If your optometrist refuses to give you a copy of your prescription or tries to charge you for it, do not put up with this treatment. Remind them that it is against the law for them to either refuse you a copy of your prescription or to try to charge you for that information. The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act requires optometrists to give you a copy of your contact lens prescription. Most of the time, just reminding an unscrupulous doctor of the law is enough to get them to hand over the information you need. When you receive your contacts in the mail, remember to save the box. Your prescription information will be printed on it. It is usually easier to read the information on the side of the box than to try to decipher your optometrist's handwriting when it is time to reorder LensDrop.co.uk Cheapest Contact Lenses, Contact Lenses Online |
