The doctor who reviews your ExpressExam results uses your current brand and prescription parameters to match you with other high-quality, FDA-approved contacts available in your exact measurements.

Some eye doctors provide patients options to see what feels best and what may work best for their budget and lifestyle, but others don’t. ExpressExam doctors may issue multiple prescriptions so you can find what works best for you.

Not necessarily! If you qualify for our online vision exam, ExpressExam, an eye doctor licensed in your state will review your results. If approved, they’ll renew your existing prescription and determine if there are any alternative brands you can try as well.

You’ll start by answering a few questions to determine your eligibility for an online vision exam. If you qualify, you’ll take pictures of your eyes and test your vision by reading letters like you would at the doctor’s office. You can complete the exam in less than 10 minutes on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. A board-certified ophthalmologist licensed in your state will review your results and, if approved, will issue your prescriptions usually within two business hours.

Your happiness is backed by our Gajillion Percent Promise. If you don’t love your new contacts, you can get a full refund by contacting our customer care team. We’ll even cover return shipping.

Contact lens manufacturers have been increasing their costs by larger percentages and more often over the last few years. We’re not happy about it either. We believe quality contact lenses should come at reasonable prices. That’s why we do our best to let our 1-800 Contacts fam (that’s you!) know when there are other high-quality brands available at lower, more reasonable prices.

Depending on your current brand and prescription details, yes! We’re here to help you discover other high quality brands that are more comfortable and affordable. 

There are several ways to save money on contact lenses, including using vision insurance, FSA or HSA funds, taking advantage of our discounts, and, of course, trying other, more comfortable and affordable brands.
