• If you do not have a valid prescription, first schedule an appointment with your eye doctor

Decide where to buy online

• Compare contact lens prices with volume discounts, coupons, rebates (if applicable), shipping, and handling
• Narrow your choice to a few stores (you may want to check the Better Business Bureau for service reports)

Order your contacts at the online retail store

• Make sure you are on the contact lens web page for the lens you have been prescribed
• Enter the parameters (and color if required)
• Double check your lens information!
