Prescription Requirement

Federal law requires a prescription for all contact lens purchases. If you upload your unexpired contact lens prescription, we can process your order right away.

If you don't upload your prescription, we are required by federal law to contact your doctor and give them up to 8 business hours to respond. We cannot ship your order until we hear back from your doctor, or until that 8 business hours has passed. If possible, please upload a picture of your prescription for the fastest possible processing.

Prescription Questions

Can I use my glasses prescription to order contacts?

No, contacts and glasses prescriptions are legally distinct and cannot be substituted for one another.

Can I order contacts if my prescription is expired?

No, it is illegal for anyone to fill orders with an expired prescription. If you upload an expired prescription, we'll contact your doctor to check about an updated prescription.

Can I order a brand that doesn't match my prescription?

No, federal law does not allow a contact lens seller to send you any brand other than the one written on your prescription. If your order doesn't match your prescription, we'll contact your doctor to get everything sorted out and then let you know what your doctor says. This can add an additional day of processing.

Can I use my old boxes instead of my doctor's written prescription?

No, federal law requires either the actual doctor's prescription or for the seller to contact the doctor. We cannot legally process orders based on an old box.
