If you wear different brands in each eye, start by entering the prescription for your right eye. On the product page for your brand, uncheck the box next to “Left Eye”. The page will refresh with the parameters for the left eye grayed out. Enter the parameters for your right eye according to your prescription or contact lens box and enter your name below the prescription. When you are done with the right eye, continue by clicking the “Add to Cart” button. You will be taken to the shopping cart and see the prescription you entered for your right eye.
To enter the prescription for your left eye, navigate to your brand using the search box or one of the product lists on the left side of the page. When you’ve found your brand and arrived on its product page, uncheck the box next to “Right Eye.” The page will refresh with the right eye grayed out this time. Next, enter the parameters for your left eye according to your prescription or contact lens box and enter your name below the prescription. When you are finished, click Add to Cart. You will arrive on the shopping cart page again, this time with the separate prescriptions for each eye listed. Review the prescriptions to make sure they are correct and then hit “Continue Order” to proceed.
In your cart, there is an order code link located above the total price of your order. Click on the link, enter your code, and hit apply to see valid codes applied to your total.
Absolutely. The fastest way is to send us a copy of the paper prescription your eye care provider gave you. Snap a clear picture of your prescription and upload it here or text it to 41800.
If you don’t have a copy of your prescription, go ahead and complete your order as you normally would. We’ll try to verify your prescription by reaching out to your doctor who may be responding normally, even though they aren’t seeing patients.
You can also take our 10-minute online vision exam, ExpressExam. Your order will ship when we receive your renewed prescription from the eye doctor (this usually only takes a few hours).
Yes. We require a valid prescription for every order. If you don’t have a copy of your prescription, you can still order contact lenses from us. You’ll be able to select your eye doctor from our expansive database. All you will need is your eye doctor’s name (or clinic name), city, and state.
After you submit your order we will act on your behalf to quickly verify or obtain your prescription information. We are required by law to verify your prescription with your doctor. This helps to ensure that we provide you with the correct contact lenses in your order.
To find the correct information for your contact lens order, just look on one of your contact lens boxes. Your contact lens box will have a brand name and your prescription information. Please see the example below to find your prescription on your contact lens box:
Where is my prescription? ... it’s on the box!
Contact lens prescriptions vary based on the type of lens you wear (bifocal, toric, disposable contacts, etc.).
If you don’t have a box, call us at 1-800-266-8228 and we can complete your order process over the phone. One of our agents will be happy to contact your eye doctor and find your prescription for you.
Under a new federal law your prescription is good for a minimum of one year and, depending on the state in which your eye care provider is located, some prescriptions are good for two years. Most importantly, this one year time period is from the date your eye doctor issues your prescription—not from the date of your eye exam.
We are advocates of proper eye health and encourage our customers to receive regular eye care. If you have provided us a copy of your prescription, we will notify you when it is expiring. If it has already expired, we’ll call to remind you to visit your eye doctor for an eye exam and to receive an updated or new contact lens prescription.
We want to get your order to you as fast as possible. Here’s how to make that happen:
Snap a picture of your written prescription with your phone. Text it to 41800, email it to rx@1800contacts.com, or upload it here: Upload Rx.
Yep. That’s all there is to it. You’ll also get Rx expiration and reorder reminders.

If you would like your order to ship immediately, you can fax your prescription to 1-800-875-9851 or email it to rx@1800Contacts.com. Please put your customer number on the contact lens prescription before faxing or emailing it.
All of them:
Importantly, these shipping times are how long it takes to ship after we verify your prescription, which can take up to one full business day. To have your order ship right away, text a picture of it to 41800 and your order will typically ship the same day.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all orders. If your prescription changes, we’ll even let you return the unused lenses, as long as they are sealed in their original packaging. Once we verify your new prescription, your lenses will be replaced and sent to you. We are also happy to replace torn lenses.
These orders can’t be filled on the website since orders shipped within the 50 United States require your current eye doctor’s contact information and a copy of your contact lens prescription. First, call 1-800 CONTACTS (1-800-266-8228) to set up an account and place your order, then fax a copy of your prescription including your customer number to 1-800-875-9851.
We will honor international prescriptions for two years from the exam or issue date regardless of state rules regarding the shipping destination. If there is no date on a prescription, we’ll honor that prescription for two years after the date we received it regardless of the state rules related to shipping destination. Prescriptions are written differently in every country. In order for us to be able to use your international prescription, there is some information that the doctor needs to specify:
Patient Name
Brand of contact lens
Power
Base Curve (this measurement tells us the size of your eye, generally an 8.x Or 9.x Number)
If you have any questions, please call 1-800 CONTACTS (1-800-266-8228) for assistance.
International orders may experience additional shipping delays. You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are charged once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid by you; we have no control over these charges and can’t predict the amount. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, you must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you’re receiving the goods. Manufacturer restrictions prevent us from shipping certain products to some geographic locations.
Orders shipping to Japan will only be allowed a two-box quantity or a two month supply. O2 Optix orders will not be shipped outside North America (with the exception of APO/FPO shipping addresses). Additionally, we can’t ship to Mexico or Spain.
Absolutely. When you reach the “Review & Submit” page, just use your FSA card as you would any other credit card. If you don’t have an FSA card, you can purchase products using a regular credit card and submit the invoice for reimbursement.
