ordering contact lenses online w/no prescription
I ran out of contacts and need some new ones and my rx expired last month. I dont feel like getting my eyes tested again and know what I need. Does anyone know where I can order them w/out the prescription?

Re: ordering contact lenses online w/no prescription
it used to be easy, but they actually confirm now, must have cracked down or something. my roommate tried 5 different places last month and got shot down every time, wound up just getting a prescription.

Eh I've been using the same prescription for like 15 years w 800contacts. Not even sure of the doctor's name, I got examined in a mall eyeglass store so I just put the store name as the doctor and the store phone number. Have never had a problem, just reordered last month in fact.
When do these prescriptions "expire", anyway? Guess I'm overdue for an exam. |

If you're between the ages of like 25-40 your eyesight shouldn't change much if at all. If you're like 17 and have bad eyes you need to get tested like every year or so.

[/ QUOTE ] Apparently in some states there is a law that prescriptions must expire within a given period of time, in PA it is a year. Whenever I try to order from 1800 Contacts, they send a request to my eye doctor, who replies with whether the the prescription is still good. The doctor wants the business, so he will always reject it if I haven't been there in a year. If you're still getting you orders filled, I imagine your doctor doesn't care and is saying the prescription is still fine. Last time I just ordered a two year supply six months after my last checkup so I would have to go back every year. This all is relatively new though, 1800 Contacts didn't use to always check the prescription, I would get 2-year old prescriptions filled before. |

I know this probably isn't much use to you, but I am in the same position and use contactlens.co.uk

Just get the test done and buy your contacts. Set up an e-mail reminder for 11.5 months from now and order a ton.

Re: ordering contact lenses online w/no prescription
you can still order them online, I use 1800contacts, they do ask for Dr Info, I give them my old Dr and there hasnt been a prob
pretty sure you could just choose any Dr from there list and things would be fine... |
