Contact Lenses Without Prescriptions Overview

The purpose of this article and entire website is to perhaps better direct your search efforts and get you to the most pertinent information without wasting your valuable time.  We know from experience that there are several reason why consumers search for the terms 'contacts without prescriptions' and while we can't of course infer the purpose behind each search we do know based on feedback from our contact lens wearers visitors the major reasons these terms are searched.  In this article we'll provide an overview of the 3 major search results expected and point our new visitors to additional articles focusing on one of these paths.

Contacts without current prescriptions

The number one reason we receive searches on contacts without prescriptions is actually from visitors that have a contact lens prescription from a certified doctor that is no longer current or valid.  These everyday consumers have typically followed the process and have gone and had a contact lens exam and have been wearing contacts often for multiple years.  They get busy and realize they have run out of their supply of daily disposable contact lenses or they tear a gas ridge permeable lens and then learn from their doctor's office or contact lens distributor that their prescription has expired and they need to come back to the office for the right to continue to wear the same lens that it many cases they have worn for multiple years.  If you are still reading and this situation applies to you then you know how frustrating it feels and understand better than any what prompts a person to seek alternative methods to order contact lenses without a prescription.

Cosmetic contacts without prescriptions

The second reason and a very close second at that is from prospective contact lens buyers that are interested in wearing contact lenses for purely cosmetic reasons only.  Many of these first time wearers assume incorrectly that if they don't need vision correcting contact lenses then they don't need a valid doctor's prescription to wear plano contact lenses.  While this would seem like a reasonable assumption it's entirely wrong if you live in the United States because in the US the FDA has deemed all contact lenses as medical devices whether they correct your vision or not and as such all require a contact lens exam and fitting.  Of course due to the internet what the FDA warrants does not always in reality apply for a savvy web user.  For more information visit this link to learn more about how to order color contacts without prescriptions if you live in the US.
