Prescription Contact Lenses

Ophthalmologists, opticians and optometrists all prescribe and fit contact lenses, as well as providing other eye health care.

Once you've consulted an eye care specialist about the suitability of contact lenses for you personally, they will measure your eyes and provide a prescription suited to your eyes' specifications.

You can fill your contact lens prescription at your eye care specialist's office, optical outlets and many mail order and online pharmacies and outlets.

Ordering contact lenses online is as simple as entering your prescription and shipping information, with many outlets providing next day shipping!

Prescription lenses are also available in different colours and with special effects that don't affect the vision.

Even if you don't need a prescription for corrective lenses, contacts are still considered a medical device and you should have an exam and a fitting by a professional to ensure you do not damage your eyes.

The FDA has issued an advisory to remind consumers to ensure they have an up-to-date prescription whenever they purchase prescription contacts online. Internet retailers may ask you for you eye doctor's contact information, but there is no assurance they will verify the accuracy of your prescription order.
