CheapAsContacts offers two convenient methods for ordering lenses. The simplest method is to visit our website:https://www.CheapAsContacts.com and follow the ordering instructions. If you feel more comfortable speaking with a customer care specialist, we offer a phone number (610) 340-3444. Upon receiving your order our customer care team will verify the accuracy of your contact lens prescription as well as your lens type with your local eye doctor based on the contact information provided when placing your initial order. Once this information is confirmed, CheapAsContacts will fulfill your order. In most cases orders ship the same day if the lenses are in stock and your doctor verifies the prescription on the same day. We offer many different shipping options to accommodate our customers. Each transaction is processed through a 128-bit encrypted server. We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Debit Cards. We also accept PayPal as an alternative form of payment. CheapAsContacts realizes that you may need your contacts right away. Therefore we offer USPS and UPS options to accommodate your schedule.

As soon as the order is placed, we begin attempting to contact your eye care professional to verify the prescription. If your eye care professional responds quickly, your order will ship out the same day if it is placed before 4:00 p.m. EST and your product is in stock. NOTE: For immediate approval email your script to: RX@CheapAsContacts.com or fax: (484) 977-5395 Once your order has shipped, an email will be sent containing shipping carrier and tracking number if applicable. Note: USPS First Class Mail does not contain tracking details. It is up to you to track the package or contact the courier for further investigation. Track USPS and UPS packages: If you still have not located your shipment please contact our customer care team: customercare@cheapascontacts.com | (610) 340-3444 Yes. CheapAsContacts requires a valid prescription in order to accept and process your order. You can obtain a copy of your prescription by contacting your eye care provider. Once you receive a copy you can visit our website to place your order or it can be phoned in to CheapAsContacts. A customer care specialist will then contact the eye care provider to verify the prescription is accurate and has not expired. In most states a contact lens prescription is valid for 1 or 2 years depending on your state"s laws. Your prescription should have an expiration date filled in by your doctor. Our primary concern is for the proper health of your eyes. If an expiration date is not present on the prescription we must assume it has expired and will encourage you to contact your eye care provider to receive a new exam and prescription. Once an order is submitted through the website or the telephone a CheapAsContacts customer care specialist is immediately assigned to your order. The representative begins the process of contacting your local eye care professional to verify the accuracy of the prescription and ensure that it has not expired. We encourage you to submit your own copy of the prescription to expedite this verification process: Rx@CheapAsContacts.com or (610) 340-3444. Once this is completed (process typically takes less than 24 hours pending successful communication w your eye-care provider), your order is released and the fulfillment is underway. CheapAsContacts adheres to Federal Law which dictates we can only send you lenses according to the prescription given to you by your eye care professional. Contact lens prescriptions are brand specific and must adhere to the lens your eye care provider fit for you. Any discrepancies between the prescription, and the order placed, will result in a delay processing the order. If your eye care professional tells us that you are not prescribed to wear the lenses ordered, we will replace the order with what your doctor tells us you are prescribed to wear. SEE EXAMPLE BELOW: A prescription should contain the following information: OS: Left Eye OD: Right Eye OU: Both Eyes Brand: Manufacturer & Series of lens Power/Sphere: Strength of lenses - a number between -20.00 and +20.00 BC: Base Curve (back curvature of lens) -a number between 8.0 and 10.0 DIA: Diameter (diameter of lens) - a number between 13.0 and 15.0 Toric and custom lenses have additional measurements that may include AXIS and Cylinder. Cylinder: Correction for Astigmatic patients (toric lenses only) (a number between -4.00 and +4.00) Axis: Correction for Astigmatic patients (toric lenses only) - a number between 0 and 180 If any of the information on your prescription or boxes is confusing or you need clarification, please consult your eye care professional. Only your eye care professional can provide advice about your prescription or determine which lenses are best for you. For a sample illustration of how a prescription may be written, click the Prescription Help link located on the left navigation bar of every page. Absolutely. CheapAsContacts receives the exact same lenses as any local eye care professional. We work with all the major brands such as Acuvue, Air Optix, Total, Biofinity and many other specialty lenses such as colored, toric, and multifocal. In order to verify your prescription we need to be able to contact your eye care professional directly. This reduces the processing time of your order. If you already have a copy of your prescription, you or your doctor’s office can email: RX@CheapAsContacts.com. Send via fax: (484) 977-5395. BE SURE TO INCLUDE A COVER PAGE CLEARLY INDICATING THE SPELLING OF YOUR NAME AND ORDER NUMBER.

DO NOT return contact lens boxes in an envelope or any other flat pack.Products received with improper packaging or labeling on lens boxes/vials will not receive credit and will be returned. Due to the fact that the FDA regulates contacts and they are deemed a medical device, we are unable to accept any opened products back for return or exchange. Once a package seal has been broken we are not permitted to re-sell that product or obtain any credit from the manufacturer. Unfortunately if a box or vial has been altered in any way such as labeling "L" or "R" it can not be sent back.
