Buy Contact Lenses The first step in buying contact lenses is meeting with your eye doctor. Even if you're considering contact lenses as a purely cosmetic enhancement (with no vision correction), you still need to get a prescription for them. Why is it so important to visit your doctor? Contact lenses must fit properly, for one. Your eye doctor will need to make sure a particular lens corrects any vision problems you have, and also that the lens fits the shape of your eye. Before wearing contacts, your eye doctor will also need to look at your cornea, to make sure there aren't any problems that would prevent you from wearing contacts. There will be a fitting period of approximately one week, just to make sure your eyes are adjusting well to contact lens wear and that no excessive dryness or discomfort exists. Once all these steps have been taken care of, you can order your prescription from us. At ShopLens, we offer a diverse array of contact lenses at extremely affordable prices. Since we get many of our products directly from manufacturers, we can afford to sell them to you at big markdowns compared with the prices of retail sellers. When you want to choose between types of lenses such as disposables or longer use lenses, speak to your doctor about what's best for you. He or she may have a specific recommendation for you, or you may be able to get a trial prescription for a new type of lens. Your doctor may prescribe for you one to two week disposable lenses--basically, you use a pair of lenses for a week or two and then you throw them away. Many people prefer these disposables because of the flexibility. A doctor's prescription is always necessary to buy any disposable contact lenses.

At the end of every day, you clean them in solution; every morning, you put them back in your eyes. If convenience is a big factor in your lens selection, ask your doctor if extended wear contacts are right for you. These contacts require less daily care--you can leave them in your eyes overnight for up to a month. Finally, there are numerous specialty lenses we have available. Bifocal lenses are engineered to fix both nearsighted vision and farsighted vision problems simultaneously. Special effects lenses are fun novelty enhancements that are perfect for dressing up. We also offer aphakic lenses, specialty optics designed for people who've had cataract surgery to remove their intraocular lenses.
