Visit the LensPlanet link below and get Free Shipping for any orders over 95 pounds or very low shipping to ANYWHERE in the world for a low 4 pounds or about 6 US dollars.

The LensPlanet.com website is super easy to use and has the majority of the popular name brand contact lenses in stock. The ordering and checkout process is fast and intuitive.

NOTE: Because you are ordering from this UK based website you will NOT be prompted to enter in you current doctor's prescription information. Click this link to visit the LensPlanet UK website to order contact lenses without a prescription.

With the average (sample as of 8/18/2011) Pounds to Dollars conversion at roughly 1 pound = 1 dollar and 65 cents Lensplanet.com prices for popular Acuvue 1-Day contact lenses at 13.75 pounds is about 22.69 US which represents a HUGE SAVINGS over the 1800contacts.com price of 29.99 (based on a minimum 6 box order). Plus with Free Shipping or low cost shipping on a low volume order there is zero downside to giving them a try. Our visitors are reporting a 99% success factor on having their contact lenses orders shipped without a current Rx.

The UK (United Kingdom) for example has different trust levels with consumers and different governmental laws. They evidently trust that people have been to the eye doctor's at some point in the past and know their base curve and left and right eye powers and wouldn't spend good money on contacts that don't fit or don't correct their vision properly.

Check out the links and information on this site (best option is above) if you wish to get a new supply of contacts without prescriptions and going back to the Doctor each year BUT... please use some common sense... If you are like many of the people we come in contact with and you wear glasses part time and your Rx has not changed in 5 or more years going back to the eye doctors may be a hassle you would just as soon avoid. If you are unsure of your prescription or it's been a while since you've had an eye exam do the smart thing and cough up the money to go have an exam.

As stated this UK contact lenses site didn't even ask for my Doctor's information. I got my contacts within a week and paid much less then what I've been paying for the last few years. Thanks! C.W.

Thanks, Sick of going to the eye doctor for the last 8 years and paying for the same piece of paper with the same exact numbers on it. My eyes have not changed since I was 30 and I would be able to tell if they started to get weak. It's not even the money for the exam it's the hassle and the time out of my busy schedule. I was able to get my lenses fast from LensPlanet and I got a great deal too! I'm a CPA and I feel like I just found a loophole in the tax law!

Thanks for the tip, I ordered through lens planet with no problem. I lost my job and my insurance but knew my script info and couldn't afford a dr visit right now- was on my last ones and getting desperate!

This isn't clara but... these contact lenses are the same exact brand name contacts, (i.e. Acuvue or Ciba Vision) same packaging, same prescription powers so it's not as though they are a generic or substitute - they are the same lenses.
