Buying contact lenses online

That is why today we will explain how to do it and what is important to take into account when buying your contact lenses online. Therefore, from eOpticians we recommend that you follow the following steps for a healthy, simple and comfortable experience.

Get your prescription for contact lenses

This is the first step you have to take to know what kind of contact lenses best suit your needs and what graduation you need. To do this, you must perform a test in your trusted optic shop and your eye doctor must give you a specific prescription for contact lenses. That is, the prescription of your glasses is not valid when buying contact lenses, you have to have a specific prescription for contact lenses. It is important that you keep this in mind because we assure you that it is not nice to receive your contact lenses, wear them, and realize that you do not see anything with them because you have bought them with the graduation of your glasses

As a rule, the prescription always includes the following parameters: BC (Base Curve), DIA (Diameter) and PWR (Power or Sphere). If you have astigmatism, then it will also tell you the following: AXIS (Axis) and CYL (Cylinder). In cases where there is also a correction for presbyopia or tired eyesight, you will also see the ADD (Addition) and D (Dominant Eye) values. Also, the prescription could be the same for both eyes, or it can also be totally different. In either case, your dioptres will be prescribed independently for each eye. In addition, it will include the expiration, normally one year, and the brand of contact lenses that your optician recommends in your case.

Another way to know what graduation you need is through the parameters of your last contact lens case. Remember that it is important that you have done a review beforehand to ensure that these are the parameters and the type of contact lenses you need for optimal vision and correction. Therefore, it is important that regardless of your age, you perform a visual examination once a year.

Choose the type of contact lenses that best suit your needs

Depending on the use of your contact lenses, you will have to choose between disposable or reusable contact lenses. In the market, you can find daily contact lenses , bi-weekly lenses , and monthly contact lenses. The question now is, which should I choose?

Well, if you wear contact lenses on very specific occasions, we recommend daily contact lenses. These, because they are disposable, are a very comfortable and healthy option for your eyes. Moreover, we could say that they are the most practical and hygienic way to wear contact lenses because they do not require any solution for their maintenance and they are a very good choice if you are an athlete or suffer from any type of allergy. For example,

1 Day Acuvue Moist they are perfect if you suffer from dry or sensitive eyes. If you also want to accentuate the color of your look, you can get hold of the FreshLook One-Day, they are also disposable and are available in four different colors.

As for the bi-weekly and monthly lenses, if what you are looking for is to be able to wear lenses every day and for a prolonged period, this is your best option. In addition, monthly lenses are slightly cheaper than daily lenses, even taking into account the added price of solutions and cases that you will have to purchase for maintenance

Regardless of the contact lenses that you think may be the best option for you, we recommend that you always consult with your trusted optician, as he will know which ones are best for you depending on your eye correction and the use you make of your contact lenses.
