In the U.S. legal requirements mean you need to have a current prescription (1 year or less) to purchase contact lenses. While it's always a good thing to get an eye exam in case your prescription has changed, you can get around this and avoid paying hundreds of dollars in unnecessary eye exam costs and overpriced contact lenses from your optometrist.
To do so, use VisionDirect.co.uk and order contact lenses online with or without a prescription if your in the U.S. and they will be shipped from the U.K. No Prescription needed... You just need to know your old prescription, which you can find on your last exam receipt or an old contact lens box (or else just call your eye doctor to find out your current prescription). No Eye Doctor Prescription Needed:
Ordering your contact lenses with no prescription through VisionDirect.co.uk is simple. Just ensure you check the details of your order against your contact lens box or the prescription given to you by your optician. Once you're confident the details are correct, proceed through checkout without asking us to verify your prescription. We will then process your order via our European sister site Vision Direct BV where prescriptions do not need to be checked.
Every two years it is good practice to have an eye test, to see if your prescription has changed and to detect early indications of eye conditions or even diabetes. Don't self-prescribe, and always stick to the recommendations of a professional. Any experiments with different lenses are best arranged in consultation with an optician.
