Be Aware Of Your Next Contact Lenses Purchase

By Micah Mandell

You've been wanting to buy color contacts for a while now, but the prices were always too high to justify. Now, you just may find it's plausible -- if you look at all the great rebate offers, consider all the free trial pairs offered through opticians and manufacturers, and check into your health care plan for coverage. Why not give yourself an extra pick-me-up with those movie star eyes you've always wanted. Treat your partner, who's always gazing into your eyes and change the trim on the windows to your soul!

Before you buy your lenses, check in with your health insurance provider to see if vision coverage is included.

Massive chains like Costco and Wal-mart may also be able to buy in bulk and offer you deep discounts that you may not find elsewhere, other than online. Also, be aware that chain stores may have different rebates, offers and prices from location to location.

Independent eye doctors vary greatly from place to place. However, some of these smaller locations can ship directly to you, order an annual supply at a time and charge discount contact prices on bulk orders.

The benefit here is that there are many local outlets, often with more convenient days and hours, and they can often furnish you with your lenses on the spot, if you have a regular contact lens prescription. You'll get the trustworthiness of shopping in person, but with the quick transaction you'd get online.

Buyers beware when it comes to buying contact lenses online.

Also, when considering value, you'll want to think about availability, convenience, added bonuses and customer service.

As far as prices go, some of the cheapest lenses are from ClearViewContactLenses.com. If you're looking to buy color contacts, be sure to look into web orders and rebates as well. Researching discount contact lenses versus the most expensive may save you $8 (like on two boxes of Acuvue) or it could save you $64 (on four boxes of Focus dailies).
