The Best Price On Contact Lenses
How do you know you’re getting the best price on contact lenses? It’s important to compare apples to apples. Start with your eye doctor. Find out if you can buyyour lenses right there in the office, and ask for pricing on various quantities. Wherever you shop, you’re likely to get the best price on contact lenses by buying a year’s supply. Ask about additional perks, such as discounts on contact lens care products, sunglasses and eyeglasses. (You should have a pair with your new prescription, just in case.)
Be sure to ask about manufacturers’ rebates and discount coupons. Some eye doctors offer the convenience of online ordering and will ship lenses to your home or office. You may decide you’re getting the best price on contact lenses right there in your doctor’s office, or you may decide to expand your search.
For instance, armed with baseline information from your eye doctor, you can search the Web for the best price on contact lenses. One caution: be sure to compare only the lenses your eye doctor prescribed – apples to apples. Don’t be persuaded to switch brands before checking with your eye doctor. In fact, using your doctor’s prescription as a guide will simplify your search. Otherwise, the choices can be overwhelming. Focus on the brand your doctor prescribed, input your prescription and quantity, key in promos codes, check to see if shipping is included and take a look at the bottom line. If you’ve found the best price on contact lenses, then proceed to checkout. If your eye doctor meets or beats what you find on the Web, then a quick call or visit to the practice’s Web site may be all it takes to get your lenses ordered.
