Save on Contact Lenses with 1-800-CONTACTS!

Filed under Saving Money by Jennifer Billy on April 23, 2012 at 1:47 pm {no comments}

Before getting Lasik surgery 8 years ago, I wore contact lenses everyday. It was very important for me to make sure that I always had fresh contact while still staying in my budget. That was not always an easy feat. So when I found 1-800-CONTACTS, I was very excited!

As the world’s largest contact lens store, 1-800-CONTACTS is dedicated to providing you with a simple, hassle-free way to replace your contact lenses. They provide the exact same lenses your doctor prescribes, but delivered straight to your door at a great low price. By ordering such large quantities of contact lenses, 1-800-CONTACTS can offer its buyers the same designer brands at a lower cost. Plus any order over $50 will qualify for FREE Shipping. It you do happen to find the same contact lenses elsewhere for a lower price, 1-800-CONTACTS has a 20/20 Guarantee and will not only match it but beat it by 2%!

I think it took me so long to start using 1-800-CONTACTS because I thought I would have to do a lot of work to get my contacts. But that is not the case. Ordering from 1-800-CONTACTS is very easy. All you need to place your order is your prescription, which can be found on your contact box and your eye doctor’s information. 1-800-CONTACTS will verify your prescription for you. Then all you need to do is wait for that cute little 1-800-CONTACTS box to show up at your door!

If you have never used 1-800-CONTACTS before, I would recommend giving them a try. Brows through their many reputable brands and see if how the prices compare to what you are already paying. With the free shipping over $50 and their 20/20 Guarantee, I do not see how you can loose. If you have made the switch to 1-800-CONTACTS, please leave me a comment letting me know how much you have saved by switching.
