Contact lenses are a popular alternative to glasses for many
people. They offer a less noticeable alternative to corrective
vision, however, they can be expensive to purchase. The contacts
and the supplies that are needed to care for them can far out
weigh the price of a pair of glasses. Therefore, many people are
interested in where to get cheap contact lenses and supplies.
Follow these tips to help you in your search.
A fairly new way to purchase cheap contact lenses is through
mail order centers. These companies are generally wholesalers
that are able to secure a good price on the contacts because of
the amount they promise to purchase from the manufacturer. As
with purchasing on the internet, it is important to make sure
that you are dealing with a trustworthy company, even if they do
have cheap contact lenses.
Another way to get good quality, cheap contact lenses is to ask
about pricing between private label and generic label contact
lenses. Many contact manufacturers make lenses for private
companies as well as for generic pricing. These are exactly the
same lens, but differ on pricing alone.
Looking online may be a good source of cheap contact lenses, but
it is a buyer beware world. When purchasing anything on the
internet can be risky, this is especially true when you want to
buy medical equipment. This is not to suggest, however, that the
internet is a bad place to get contact lenses, just be sure that
you are dealing with a reputable supplier.
If you have optical insurance available to you, this is also a
way to get cheap contact lenses. Many insurance companies cover
not only glasses but also contact lenses as long as they are
used for a vision correction issue. Be sure to check with your
contact lens supplier to be sure that they participate in your
insurance plan.
Most people tend to think that buying their contact lenses from
the eye doctors' inventory is the most expensive way to get
them. This isn't always the case; often times your doctor will
have special pricing for a large supply of contact lenses. If
you are willing to buy your lenses a year at a time, your doctor
will probably, be able to match the prices of other suppliers.
If you find that, you can get cheap contact lenses by ordering
them either online or through some other mail order company, ask
about services such as shipping times, shipping rates and return
policies. The answers to these specific questions will help you
to determine if the company you are thinking of buying from is
legitimate.
